hey guys, I just saw today that they are starting to release "official" Chinese courses on iKnow... you might want to check it out here if you are interested in learning Chinese: http://www.iknow.co.jp/lists/35430

Awesome news. :-)

Oh this is great, thanks!

I've always had a hankering in the back of my head to learn some Chinese but I never was able to find the resources like the ones available for Japanese.

Learn Japanese well enough and then look for Japanese sources to learn Chinese.. my guess is that there's quite a lot to find.

I blame the wanderlust.. I have a tendency to try to learn too much at once.

I actually have used a few Japanese sources to cover Spanish. Granted, I was looking up every other word/character/thing, but it was kinda cool.

Anyway, off-topic.. way off-topic.

Even though the list says Intermediate Chinese and I don't know a lick, I'll give it a shot. I can't wait 'til they get the (noob level) courses rolling out. Should be great.

Was able to guess a lot of meanings playing the Brainspeed based on hanzi alone. Cool.

Me too. Although it was a little too easy with only one answer.

on a recent announcement in iKnow http://www.iknow.co.jp/announcements/275096 they stated:

"Looking ahead, the next batch of courses we're about to release is Chinese! More on that soon..."

so be watching out for the new courses guys

I can't wait to learn how to read a Chinese financial newspaper *rolls eyes

Jokes aside, I do hope it's actually a useful word order. My Chinese is still beginner level so I might actually use it.

just wanted to let everyone know they updated the Chinese section in iKnow quite a bit just recently... check it out if you want: http://www.iknow.co.jp/series/3325
