I want to go to China next year. So I've been learning Chinese for several months. I felt it's quite difficult, for the same pinyin, when it is of different tones, has different meaning. My friend introduced me a website where there are online language partners. It's really fantastic! The language partners are all well educated girls and most of them are from famous Chinese University. They taught me pinyin and tell me the difference among different tones. Besides, they told me very interesting Chinese culture, which help me learn the language easier and faster. Now I have two lessons a week. I become more and more confident with my Chinese speaking.
You guys can link http://www.echineseonline.com/j.do?sid=Sammi&type=1 and choose one partner you like.

SPAM!

I have read through dozens of threads with 'people' saying to visit this site. I am learning Chinese but will avoid that site, simply because of the unconscionable methods used to drum up business. .. shame!
