How could say be better when they were free?
The idea that someone would go through all this trouble with no financial reward was interesting. I guess greed always finds a way to seep in. You are definitely providing value in your blog and some people are willing to pay for it. Good capitalism, I like that. But to swich midway after starting it for ‘free’ is a bit disheartening.

Hello Serge.
I regret that your lessons are only PDF files.
Before we had to chose between .pdf, .doc or .rtf
I can’t edit a .pdf with adobe reader 7
For me I prefer files in .doc or .rtf for the following reasons.
When a sentence is difficult, I write the elapse
time at the same place so it is easy to return to this sentence with my computer . Now I can’t
As I am French If there is an English word I need to translate in French I have to perform a double clic on the word ,
then a single clic on the icon of the Harrap’s dictionary and I have my translation. Now I can’t and it is much more
complicated.
Sometimes it was interesting to write some annotations to help for the prononciation on my computer . Now I can’t
Please see if you can do something.
Thanks

Actually, I make the transcripts as PDF files because Chinese characters and all the format will be preserved no matter what system or language version you are using. Also you can easily zoom in or zoom out if you can’t see clearly.

To the first post….
I’d be more than happy to keep it completely free, but unfortunately, writing trascripts and making the podcast better takes time and I have to make a living as well. Besides, the podcast itself IS free. But, if you want to immerse yourself to a serious study, you will need to pay a small fee for receiving lesson transcripts.
Hope you understand.

I dont need the transcripts as much, but I am happy to subscribe to the paid service simply to support you Serge. Its a small price to pay for such an excellent service. I consider it a donation for your hard work, which has helped me very much.

what is chi (the word near the begining) in cantonese??
November 6th, 2007 at 12:33 am
I’m not expert in Cantonese, but if you are talking about chi1 (first tone) in Mandarin, it means “to eat” and in Cantonese it’s pronounced as ’sek3′(third tone)
Mandarin: To east=chi1 fan4(吃饭)
Cantonese: sek3fan2（食飯）
Cheers,

Hi,
Fantastic website - I am pointing my students to it - many thanks for all the very hard work!
Just a little correction on the Cantonese - the tones of both are No. 6, i.e. ’sihk faahn’ in Yale.
All the very best, and thanks again for this excellent resource.
