PhilipLean Posted October 17, 2009 at 01:31 AM Report Posted October 17, 2009 at 01:31 AM I can't reach Chinesepod online, has something happened ? Anyone know ? Quote
jbradfor Posted October 17, 2009 at 02:21 AM Report Posted October 17, 2009 at 02:21 AM I can reach it fine. Maybe they had an anti-Australia episode or something and it's being blocked? Quote
PhilipLean Posted October 17, 2009 at 02:31 AM Author Report Posted October 17, 2009 at 02:31 AM Well that would be ok, anything to get us into the news and massage our insecurity complex. I was wondering if they had overdone it with the episode and discussion on the parade. If you can see it then it must be a problem somewhere here. Quote
Daan Posted October 17, 2009 at 03:27 AM Report Posted October 17, 2009 at 03:27 AM Working fine in Taipei, too, so yeah, it would probably be an Australian problem Quote
PhilipLean Posted October 17, 2009 at 05:16 AM Author Report Posted October 17, 2009 at 05:16 AM and the help desk at my ISP is closed till Monday morning, guess it will just be PopupChinese till then Quote
abcdefg Posted October 17, 2009 at 11:38 AM Report Posted October 17, 2009 at 11:38 AM It's been fine here (Texas, USA.) Quote
PhilipLean Posted October 19, 2009 at 12:55 PM Author Report Posted October 19, 2009 at 12:55 PM It seems it was simply my router having a hiccup and an unwanted security option needed to be turned off. Quote
XiaoXi Posted October 23, 2009 at 04:13 PM Report Posted October 23, 2009 at 04:13 PM Do people really find Chinesepod.com that good? I hear a lot about it on this forum but having listened to it its 99.999% English on all the dialogues (certainly with beginner and Elementary levels). Also the guy has the strangest accent I've heard in a while. Quote
imron Posted October 23, 2009 at 11:31 PM Report Posted October 23, 2009 at 11:31 PM I used to enjoy listening to their advanced stuff when it was free as it was usually quite entertaining, and more importantly all in Chinese. I couldn't really comment on their other lessons as I never really listened to them. Quote
abcdefg Posted October 24, 2009 at 03:40 AM Report Posted October 24, 2009 at 03:40 AM Do people really find Chinesepod.com that good? It certainly isn't the greatest thing since the invention of sliced bread, but I still find it useful at the elementary level. Just listening to the dialogue without doing the additional exercises is not worth much, however, and using it that fuller way requires a paid subscription. Only the initial dialogue is free. Quote
jtragash Posted December 14, 2009 at 05:32 AM Report Posted December 14, 2009 at 05:32 AM I am in Guangzhou and have not had access for a week now. I thought it was blocked on the great firewall. Quote
Neil_H Posted December 14, 2009 at 01:10 PM Report Posted December 14, 2009 at 01:10 PM Works fine from the UK. They sent me an email this morning with their December news letter. Their IP address is 64.78.165.109 Quote
