Does anyone know how to download this CCTV podcast?

[Patrick_ChineseForum]

Hello,

I've been learning Chinese through lessons provided by CCTV. Everything has gone well so far. Last week, I ran into a basic Learning Chinese Podcast named CRI Chinese Studio. The program teaches elementary Chinese by English speakers and Chinese natives. The only problem is that the website doesn't seem to provide the link to download mp3. Unlike another newbie Learning Chinese Podcast program named Survival Chinese, they provide mp3 download link for every lesson... Does anyone know how to download lessons of CRI Chinese Studio? (see the link below) I sent a few emails to CCTV and they never responded :-(

Thank you in advance,

Patrick

You can install a plugin in your browser to capture streaming media. Not sure which one is best as I don't use it very often. You best go to the plugin section of your browser and search for something like flash or media download. I've netvideohunter and flashvideodownloader plugins installed at the moment. Both for mozilla.

I had the same problem trying to use this podcast as linked from the CCTV website. Later, I found that it was apparently designed for use with Internet Explorer & doesn't work with Firefox & other browsers. China Radio International also links to it on CRI's own Chinese-learning homepage which has more lessons & is presumably up to date. It works on every internet browser that I tried on Windows 7 & on Android.

 

Try this link to Chinese Studio: http://english.cri.cn/12514/more/12525/more12525.htm

 

BTW, the homepage for CRI Learn Chinese has other Chinese-learning materials: http://english.cri.cn/08chinese/
