A Beginner Series or something similar

[Solgemne]

Hello,

I joined ChinesePod last year, but haven’t been able to do anything due to my work schedule and I’ve finally got around to joining as a premium subscriber. I read a previous post that ChinesePod would start a Beginner Series and I’d like to know when that might become available because I’m a little lost as to where to begin. Or do I just go through as many Newbie lessons as possible? I’m hoping that I can learn it again, but I’ve heard that once a language is lost, it’s difficult to relearn it.

Hello, that you are interested in a beginner series. We do have a series titled All The Way To Intermediate. There great phrases and groups of words for a newbie to learn. If you go to playlist, then look for this title you will find a numbered course. I think that you will get it all back.

Hello,

Here is the “All the Way to Intermediate Course” Grace mentioned:

I’ll be recording a video in a couple of weeks, explaining how I used Newbie lessons. When I do, I’ll be sure to post it back here in this thread.

I’ll start that series. Thanks for the info.

My Chinese Pod routine as a newbie

In case this might be of help for other newbies out there, this is what I’m doing right now to learn with Chinese Pod: Each day, during breakfast, I watch one of the ATWTI videos. I then go to one of the newbie lessons suggested in the practice section of that particular video, and listen to the show, plus the vocabulary audio review and the expansion, and do the exercises. This takes me about 30 minutes. I put the ATWTI audio and the practice lesson audios (show, vocabulary and dialogue) …
