Featured Podcasts: Chinese Audio Lessons from Serge Melnyk at melnyks.com

From Serge Melnyk's website:

This course is created for anyone who is interested in learning spoken Mandarin Chinese, the FREE audio lessons are in Mp3 format and you can download them from iTunes or directly from this Website. Summer, who is a native Beijing speaker and Pauline, the native of Taiwan are helping me with the recordings of most lessons in this course, but you will also hear different voices there as well.

The lessons on this Website are theme based and progressive, which means that you can start from “zero” level and after completing this course, you will be able to speak fluent Mandarin Chinese on the familiar topics.

Every new lesson is built on the vocabulary and grammar of the previous lesson. You can spend about a week on each lesson. There is a lot of review of the old vocabulary in the new lessons and all lessons are interconnected. We use a step-by-step approach in our Mandarin Chinese course. This method helps you to develop and reinforce listening and speaking skills in Mandarin Chinese.

You can take these Mandarin Chinese Lessons with you on your iPod or Mp3 player and study anytime, at any place, at your convenience. For example, you can study in your car on the way to work or school etc. The number of lessons on this Website is constantly growing, please check our Learn Chinese Syllabus. for for the lessons schedule. It doesn’t matter when you join the course, the lessons are always going to be here for you.
