Just signed up for a Guided account with @ChinesePod. 
I’ll be using it to keep up my Chinese skills while I’m back in the US for a month or so. Seems like a very cool service.

This is cool already. I just got a call some a woman at ChinesePod. She was scheduling my first lesson.
Though, I think I just told her to sign me up for the Executive plan (USD$200/month) because I thought it was free for a month… oops. I clicked a link that said “Take a free Executive Plan demo!” and filled out the short form without reading anything. For some reason I just interpreted the verbiage as a free month. Oh well, guess I can tell my teacher, Helen, tomorrow (at 16:30).

Already really liking ChinesePod. Loaded up my feed with lots of lessons I’m excited about. Downloading all the material via iTunes now. I didn’t know iTunes would download PDFs and everything. I thought I would only be getting audio.

So, did you decide to stick with the Executive plan? I’m following your experiences with Guided/Executive as I’ve yet to make a decision on the level of ChinesePod subscription.

That’s awesome, Bill!
Nah, I’m back down to the Guided. I sent my tutor an email about my confusion.

I’m one more who will follow your assessment of how that is going. I am doing the reverse – I signed up for ChinesePod as a beginner, after reading and listening to mp3 for a month or two, and next year if I am in China for long enough I will take a class at a University.

Cool, Dan. So, you already have been using ChinesePod for a month or two?? or you will… and then study.
