Ironically, Noble is about to release his Mandarin course:

I wonder how close it will be to H. Goodman's MT course.

The author went to one of Noble's live classes, as far as I can tell -- there's no sign of a recorded Mandarin course on the site....

Well it says it's his 'prototype course'. Admittedly, I've made a bit of an assumption there.

I'm also not thrilled with the fact that Hindi is being delayed *another* year

On their Facebook page they've now stated that there are no plans for any other language, Hindi or otherwise. They also have stated that they have no plans to update any course following this new release. That means that any language that didn't already have a vocabulary course made for it, will not get one folded into the new courses in the future.

If they're saying that directly in public, they're dying. Too bad. I liked the Polish courses.
