Listener Notice: Introducing Listen to Mandarin Step One

If you don not take small steps, you can not reach a thousand miles away.
- Lao Zi

I have been receiving emails regarding the levels of my podcasts. And I find it necessary to introduce something for lower level learners. I want to keep this new series current, relevant, interesting, and at the same time in a modified text and also in a slower speed. So now here you have Listen to Mandarin Step One.

Listen to Mandarin Step One is here to provide a small step for people who need a little help. If you look outside of the classroom and find that the real world media contents are too difficult to understand (including my regular podcasts), you may find Listen to Mandarin Step One a valuable tool to bridge the gap.

In order to help you enlarge your real word vocabulary, English translation is included in the transcript.
