www.melnyks.com

His lessons are free to download via mp3 and each lesson is theme based. I have tried a number of resoures for learning Chinese, and this was easily the best for me. I even rate it much better than trying to learn from a chinese person.

if you can only learn his first ten lessons ... you will be able to do a hell of a lot, and discuss or ask about many things that are useful for settling in when in China.

Although the mp3 lessons are free ... there is a charge to purchase the accompanying work sheets. I needed those as I cant learn just by listening ... I needed something to read alongside it.

I really do recommend these lessons though.

A few more resources (mainly books - I'll try to dig out a few more web-based ones and post them later) for learning Chinese (no judgement of Nick's suggestion intended - I haven't looked at it yet!):
