..looks like they've taken the dialogues from the original lessons and added Korean commentary. The lesson numbers are the same except these have a KR for Korean in front of them. Good work and good idea.

wa, looks like almost 5 pages of lessons ..around 46 lessons all published today. And yeah, I don't recognise the hosts voices.

well if you switch to "old version" you may find the beams are still crossed, my detective wanabe mate. :-)

oh, I was in a hurry at the time and presumed they'd already fixed it. Just checked now and it's back in English. I also presumed that they had just got the written stuff caught in the crossbeams and not the actual podcasts, but you having suggested it, I would listen if I could. :)

wow, so I guess it will be a separate site but very similar in format except that where English is used on this site, Korean will be used. So you'll have to have Korean speaking hosts then? Will any of the current hosts also be hosting on the Korean site? I guess you'll mainly have to employ new hosts, right? I guess the Korean sites lesson's will not coincide with this site lessons, but be newbie topics more like the original newbie topics here from 2005 or whatever you think is most suitable for the new Korean market. Will the sites be totally separate or will a CPod subscription allow access to the other cpod sites [what will they be called?]. I kinda like the idea of listening to newbie chinese lessons hosted in Japanese. When is the Japanese site being planned? This must be exciting for you guys but also involve a lot of hard work. Good luck Jenny and team :)

We are starting with a newbie course in Korean and Chinese, which means everything is localized into Korean.
We will roll out localized versions for Japan and Russian next.

for koreans learning Chinese right? So they still get the audio in English, the lower levels have the typing on the site in Korean and the upper would have it in chinese then, right?
Do you have any other versions of the site other than Korean? ..if not are any others planned? ...just curious...

September 26, 2011 at 03:19 AMHi everyone,
We launched our Korean site today and I guess there's been a bit of a mix-up. Everything should be back to normal in a bit. Thanks for your patience!
