I've been using iKnow for the last 2 weeks, on the 'Japanese Core 6000' course, doing about an hour a day. It's great, and has totally broken my 'always study Japanese away from the computer' rule.
They announced the first Chinese course yesterday, which is aimed at intermediates. They promise a beginner course for early next year so I'm really looking forward to that. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Yeah, the new Chinese Mandarin course teaches words from the media, newspapers, TV etc. Looks like it goes from lower to upper intermediate. There are 5 courses in the series, teaching 1,220 words in total.

I've been having a lot of fun on this site for the past 2 days. Brainspeed is quite addictive.

Is it for free, or?
I'm not sure, but I haven't find anything for which you have to pay. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I´ve just signed up and I find it really great, especially for expanding my Japanese vocab. The Chinese media lessos are also extra useful, I really hope there will be normal (and not just beginner!) Chinese courses soon!

Seems like it's all free so far. I just started using it and really like it. The interface for their courses is very nice -- much much better than what I tried on LiveMocha. It sounds like they intend to add more languages in the future, too (or maybe users will just create and share their own lists). Of course, I don't mind that Japanese and Chinese are the first ones; they're my focus right now hehe. I'm definitely looking forward to see what they add as time goes on!

I've found the answer today on the website.

Something else I discovered... you can get your own custom daily "podcast" of all the new sentences you studied the previous day. After editing in Audacity to remove the silences, you'll have some great listening and shadowing material =)
