About Us
Want to learn Chinese?
Bored with sitting in a dull classroom for a whole day?
Sick of outdated textbooks?
CSLPOD is a PODCAST web site which aims at helping people learn and improve their levels of the Chinese language.
While focusing on the varied topics of the daily life of the Chinese people, we integrate cultural background and entertainment information into our programs. Our objectives are to create an attractive, situational as well as interactive atmosphere for anyone who is learning Chinese, helping them to be able to speak fluent Chinese where ever they may be and whenever they have the time.
We offer regular, free and high quality Chinese courses at three levels: beginners, average, and advanced. For the beginners and the averages, we explain in detail the grammar usages encountered in the texts which are read by Chinese natives at a slow speed for upgrading your listening comprehension. For the advanced learners, all the texts are read at the normal speed. The contents of the texts spotlight the latest hot topics or hot news in China. This will help people to understand better the Chinese society, the Chinese people, their way of life, their thinking style, their interests, as well as their customs.
So, join us and make progress with us. We care about your learning and we are ready to help you. You will see that our program is not only practical, reliable but also friendly. Just a few minutes each day, you will amazingly find out soon that while learning the language, you are getting to know the whole nation at the same time. What is important is that you will get constant help from us.
Join us and learn the language interactively and productively!
We, therefore, welcome you to contact us either by cslpod@gmail.com; or by visiting directly www.cslpod.com. We hope that we could get your feedbacks as well for perfecting our future work. All your opinions and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Chinese the Chinese Way
