Hello Linguaholic! Please, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Fame Ketover, I'm a language lover, and I'm the founder of the free Lenguin language courses. I'm sure some of you are familiar with the FSI courses, but for those who are not, they are programmatic curricula that have been used for decades in successfully training foreign service workers to fluency. My team and I have used these curricula as the framework for producing new video courses which are available for free. The Mandarin Chinese course is already available and we're releasing new videos every couple of days. You can find our videos on Youtube and Facebook. https://youtube.com/LenguinPenguin https://facebook.com/LenguinPenguin Here's the direct link to the YouTube playlist for the full Mandarin Chinese course: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7cqtYORC8I&index=2&list=PLOZiEc7ESUiE3Jdo1hkWfNvQpxaamHA9L Stay up to date by following us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LenguinPenguin A lot of time, love, and effort have been volunteered for this project in hopes of creating an awesome learning resource for all language learners. All feedback and comments are welcome and will be taken into consideration for future lessons. Thanks for your time and enjoy the videos!
