Hello, Mr. Melnyk!
I just had to write to you to express my whole-hearted thanks for your inexpressibly helpful and useful podcast lessons. A 2007 graduate of the University of Southern California, I’m currently interning at a branch of Yantai Wanhua Polyurethane Co., Ltd. that’s based in Beijing. Notwithstanding the fact that no prior knowledge of Chinese was necessary to qualify for this internship, I took it upon myself to learn as much Mandarin as I could, starting on the plane ride over here. And it is due in large part to your insighful lessons that my proficiency in spoken Mandarin
has as of late “skyrocketed.” Thanks a ton!!!

I’ve downloaded your podcasts from iTunes and I’ve been through the first three lessons and I just want to say that they are extremely well done and helpful. I really believe that I can learn Mandarin using your Podcasts and downloading the PDFs from this site.

Thank you, Serge!!

Sincerely,

Dan in Austin, TX USA

Thanks Serge,
I’ve got to tell you, I’ve owned a business in Beijing for about 6 years and have tried a 1/2 dozen different language programs in that time. I’ve made more progress in one month with your podcasts than all the rest combined. The podcast is remarkably well thought out and gives me a usable vocabulary.

Serge,
I wanted to thank you sincerely for your Mandarin podcast. I had tried to learn using the Berlitz method but the way you teach the vocabulary iteratively and repeat certain words and phrases are very helpful.
Thanks again,

I have been studying Mandarin since 2004. I own several books and CD programs. I think your approach is so effective and efficient. I listen to your podcasts on the way to work every morning. I’ve learnt more with your podcast than any other method.
Thanks and keep up the good work.
Best regards,

Dear M. Melnyk,
My name is Anne from Western France. I just want to thank you for your wonderful on-line lessons. They are very helpful, because they deal with everyday vocabulary you can’t find in books. You are a wonderful teacher.
Thank you,
Anne

Thanks once again for the truly outstanding Chinese Lessons. What a wonderful public service you are offering. At 28 lessons they constitute quite a solid body of work.
I just want you to know some people really appreciate all your trouble and hard work doing this. The Lessons are interesting and enjoyable, too. I worked in China for about three years (88, 89, 90) and could have really used these lessons then.
Respectfully Yours,

Serge,Thank you so much for your lessons. This is really the way to learn Mandarin. I’ve been a foreign student in the universities and had private tutors but have not been as satisfied with those teaching methods as your course. This is really a wonderful program and well appreciated.
I heard about your program on the Chinese Forums.
Thanks again,
Joshua

Serge,
Just like to thank you for your great podcasts. I wish I had known about these earlier.
Thank You

Dear Mr Melnyk,
Just a quick thank you for this wonderful course. I have tried the first few lessons, and the way that you have presented them has been great.
Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to do this podcast.
Yours Sincerely,

Hi Serge,
I’ve been using your podcasts regularly for the past year and I just wanted to thank you for the fantastic job you’ve done! They’ve helped me a lot - even when I’m not actively studying I sometimes play them in the background and that helps me revise.
Thanks again!

Dear Mr. Melnyk,
You have become my personal hero. I am a beginner-to-intermediate Chinese speaker, and I want to tell you that thanks to you I can learn many new words and sentences.I really don’t know how to express my gratitude towards you. I sincerely thank you for this great tool and I hope you will continue teaching us!

Hi Serge,
I just wanted to say thank you very much for offering your lessons online.
I use to live in Taiwan, but now live in the US and was looking for a refresher course and your lessons make each day very exciting! Thank you so much. I appreciate the time and effort you put into all the lessons and your website.

I want to thank you for the fantastic lessons. I have found them very helpful and easy to follow. My girlfriend who is Chinese is also very grateful.

S. Melnyks,

Thank you for your lessons. They are great. I recently just left you a review (I’m the Irish Potato guy) and just wanted to say I learn best by listening. But if you put a donation button on your website, I would beglad to support what you are doing. I again just wanted to say thank you for your teaching. It has to be the best method.
Sincerly,
Jason J. McWhorter

I am a mandarin teacher in Singapore and I recommended your podcast to my students and they really love it. As a native Chinese speaker, I am so so impressed by the accuracy and purity of your pronunciation.
Many thanks!!

I just wanted to thank you for your lessons in Mandarin Chinese. The only other language I’ve taken was Spanish in High School and College.  I never thought that I could enjoy learning another language especially Chinese!  It is complicated and takes a while to get down but it is worth it.Thanks so much for providing this podcast. Your pronunciation and well thought out lessons are great.
