Are there many podcasts to help Mandarin speakers learn English? My girlfriend has limited English and is almost computer illiterate, so she doesn't know how to search for them and I don't speak Mandarin. Can anybody recommend some podcasts where English is taught using Mandarin rather than all English?

It is possible that she would learn faster if she struggled with all-English lessons-especially with you to help her.
But if she feels she must have Mandarin along with English in her lessons, then install Amule or Emule and go to VeryCD.com. There you will find a very large number of audio lessons for Mandarin speakers learning English. The two of you together should be able to figure out how to find and download them-it's not that difficult. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

She could try a different approach....become a chat partner for someone who is a native English speaker and learning Mandarin. You could help her to find a chat partner and show her how to use Skype, or say MSN. The person learning Mandarin would really exercise their Mandarin skills which they would be grateful for.
Good luck! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

http://www.putclub.com/ http://www.eslpod.com/website/index_new.html http://englishpod.com/ I searched the Chinese search Engines and didn't find much at all, seems Chinese people don't like to use podcasts to learn English. If you want to have a look yourself, the best search engine is www.baidu.com and should help 播客 is the equal for podcast 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I haven’t seen any Mandarin-to-English podcasts in the style of Chinesepod. But then I haven’t searched that hard.
I have downloaded ESLpod type lessons from Chinese sites, only to delete them when I found they were English only. But if anyone is looking for bilingual audio lessons designed to teach English to Mandarin speakers, then they will find that Chinese sites are flooded with them. I have a mass of this kind of material on my hard drive, and I didn’t have to look very hard to find it. I got the material from VeryCD.com and from justting.com.cn As you might suppose, some of this material is also very useful for English speakers learning Mandarin. 1 person has voted this message useful |
