I have decided that I need to learn some basic Manderin before heading off to China.....I have found from previous travels that local people appreciate your efforts with acquiring at least some basic words.
No chinese language teaacher to be found in Hobart so thought I would try some video-conferencing lessons on-line. Has anyone had any experiences with this? Also has anyone had any dealings with chinesevoice.com?
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

just realized i'm 2 years late with that comment.... hahaha... oh well.
I'm using applications on my samsung phone- mandarin flashcards as well as other apps with interpretations of basic questions and statements that will probably be useful once i get there. it definitely isn't easy but i enjoy a challenge.
Just a note to let everyone know to BEWARE of CHINESEVOICE.COM.
I recently signed up for their trial lessons and e-workbook. I have received NOTHING but they have taken the money from my account. I'm still corresponding via email but to date have NOT received a refund despite repeated requests. I'll continue to try and get a positive outcome but in the meantime all I can do is warn others so you don't suffer the same outcome.
Thanks to those who have sent me alternate options. I am now looking at those but admit I'm very suspicious after my experience with Chinese Voice.
Check your email! Might be able to help a little.
Hey,
Best of luck with your Madarin lessons - I learnt it at school and it was super-hard! I don't know much about chinesevoice.com, but I'd certainly recommend the Michel Thomas method of learning languages: http://www.michelthomas.co.uk/mandarinchinese.htm - I've done the Spanish one and it's really clear and gives you a good grounding. It might also be worth checking out this site, which is free: http://www.livemocha.com/
Hope that helps - good luck!
