I’ve been working hard recently on a new site, and it just went up a few minutes ago. Actually, I have lots more to do on it but the Chinese part is done.
It’s been well over a year since Learn Spanish Rapidly went online, and I’ve been really gratified by how much people seem to enjoy it and learn useful things from it. They also buy things from it in sufficient quantity that I feel my time isn’t wasted. (I’m not retired.)
So I got the idea to do another site that would cover some of the other languages that there is software or audio programs available for. Thus was born (corny, I know, but I don’t want to count how many pages I wrote today… my brain is fried) my new site:
LearnLanguagesRapidly.com
I started with Chinese and that is all I have done so far. Why did I start with Chinese? Because my father and my grandfather both spoke Mandarin, and I learned a bit of it myself. I think I will do a short section next on Spanish, just linking back to here. Then I will do French, since I also know it. Beyond that — German, Italian, Japanese, who knows what!
Here are the pages for the section I’ve done. I tell a funny story on myself on the Pimsleur Cantonese page. I’ve got a small learn Chinese blog.
One thing that I found very interesting as I did my research is that my opinions of these different programs for Spanish stayed the same as I found out what the companies had done for Mandarin.
