I am a chinese domiciled in the United States of America. Firstly I want to congratulate the company, University of Utah for trying such a difficult product. The anchor cum host being a chinese herself was original. I, though am a chinese, lived in United States of America, so I dont know mandarin well. But I want to learn mandarin so that I can communicate with my brothers in china.
I have to say that Mandarin course is opencourseware, so it is free. People, be free to distribute and redistribute the course! Thanks.
