    I just want to say thank for for making such a great site. It is helping to improve my Chinese a lot.

    Keep up the good work.

  2. 你好Xinyu: 谢谢你的鼓励和夸张。在你的领导下我的中文勘定会有进步。

    When I looked a second time, I couldn’t find the link on your site for Mandarin Spot which is really helpful in providing pinyin annotations for each character in your stories.

    I thought your other listeners might find it useful. It’s at this link: http://mandarinspot.com/annotate . Along with pinyin, this automated site can also give you a translated list of the characters in Xinyu’s stories.

    Cheers,

    • 老毕你好，

      I guess the link you mentioned was randomly provided by GoogleAdsense at the bottom of the sidebar, so I’ve added it into Link Page in Library. Thanks for your recommendation!

  3. Xinyu哥们，你的网站是太好，谢谢你的努力。非常感谢！
    我也在北京，学了中文好多年可是我汉字还不好，会达几个字还不能写认识的字少。我想你的网站会给我带来很大的帮据。
    See… it took me such a long time to write those few words above and I know many are wrong. I found the link you provided to Mandarin Spot, another great free resource,was also incredibly helpful converting the characters into to pinyin. Slow-Chinese and Mandarin Spot what great learning tools.
    Xinyu 我怎么帮你的忙？
    Cheers,
    老毕

      你的努力让我很感动，希望你取得更大的进步。
      不需要你帮我什么忙，如果我的博客对你有用，你愿意听，也从中学到东西，这就是对我最大的鼓励和帮助。
      祝你虎年快乐！

  5. Hello Xinyu

    Thank you very much for making this site, it looks great. I will be using it to try to get my poor Chinese back into shape.

    One question -why is the site in traditional characters if you are based in Beijing? Why not write in simplified characters?

    All the best

    • Hi sendaiben,

      happy Chinese New Year!
      the problem you described that only traditional Chinese characters are shown appears to be the problem of your browser’s setting or your OS’ language figuration, I type in simplified Chinese and nobody else seem to have the same problem as you do. Change the language coding of your browser to Unicode may solve this problem.
      Have a nice day!

  7. Hi Xinyu

    I was always amused by Chinese language from my childhood. And finally I got some opportunity to learn it. I think you doing very nice work. Thanks.

    Can you please make lessons for newcomers like me also. For me even first lesson too complex :(.

    My dream is interactive reality to learn any language.
    Imagine you travel through country(in company of local attractive girl f.e.) and surrounded people who has only one task – to help you learn language. So this virtual people start talking to you with sign language pronouncing very clearly words and showing Chinese letters at the same time. You walking in virtual city and listen to people. They speak adapted language so u can pick up few more words, as more you spent in this reality as complicated their speech. Total immersion in virtual China as advanced level.

    Why people making 1000 brainless shooters instead of one nice useful project?

    Just my dream. But it can be partly implemented with video lessons.
    Btw I’m software developer. If you need any help let me know.

    Thanks alot.

    • Hi SJ,

      apology for my late reply. You are very intelligent and your idea sounds very appealing to me, it’s really a revolutionary new concept of learning a foreign language. I’ll be very excited to witness or even be a part of your wonderful project, if you realize it someday in the near future.
      I am, for the present time, only a college student, and have a great amount of school works at hand, I’m afraid now I can’t make such a podcast for beginners. And I believe there are a number of such materials on the Internet. In fact, as many of Slow Chinese listeners, like you, expect me to do a such beginner podcast, it is not impossible for me to do it, only I need to find time and prepare both the lessens and myself.
      By the way, are you familiar with php + MySQL and wordpress? I want you to help add a small function to Slow Chinese, I will pay for your work!

      Yours, Xinyu

  8. 非常感谢你对我们中文爱好者准备的这个播客，就太棒了。而且完全适合我现汉语在的水平，因为我几乎所有你使用的词汇都知道，我的主要的问题就是电视电影的”正常说话的速度太大。

    新年快乐，虎年大吉！

    • Hi Rita,

      thanks very much. Actually you don’t need to check in here everyday, simply subscribe my Newsletter or subscribe my podcast in itunes store, and you’ll be informed of the latest update, either a new episode or newly added material in library. Have a good day!

  12. Thank you for your fantastic podcast. “Slow Chinese” is becoming more and more my primary source of texts with audio, because the texts are interesting and I am able to increase my vocab knowledge a lot.

  16. Hi XinYu,
    Ditto from me on all the good comments. I have been learning Chinese for about 18 months now, and I find your texts great for practicing dictation, as you speak very clearly.

    While studying for the Intermediate HSK I have had a lot of difficulty with the listening comprehension part, mainly because they use a lot of expressions that one cannot find in the type of text material you are using. Any suggestions on how I may improve this skill of conversational Chinese? Are there any novels, short stories, etc, that may help?

  17. Great site! 太有用了!! 谢谢. 辛苦你了。

    I create pinyin (http://www.annotator.dragonresearch.org/) and English versions (using Google Translate) and add to my iPod lyrics. It helps a lot. It would be great if you could make this a standard feature.

  18. I just found your website through Chinese Pod. You are a Chinese learner’s dream come true! You speak so clearly, and at a reasonable speed. Thank you for putting up this site.

    Is it possible to download the pdf files in just plain text? I would like to manipulate the text, making it larger for easy reading, changing the font, and cutting it up for vocabulary and grammar flashcards.

    你说得很清楚！谢谢！

    Reply

    • Hi, do you mean the font in PDF too small to read? If you want to use the article in plain text, please just copy and paste from the webpage. To enlarge the font in your browser you can hold Ctrl and scroll up. I’ve working on adding Pinyin recently.
      Thanks for your support!
      Yours,
      Xinyu

      Reply

      • Yes, Xinyu, I saw that your text was copy/paste-able right after I posted. I do have to make that font quite large for my poor eyes. I print out your text with plenty of space in between the lines to write in pinyin marks for characters that are new to me.

        Again, Thank you for providing this material to study Chinese!

  20. Hi!
    Thanks for your great website, I find it really useful.
    I’ve been having problems with downloading the content lately though on iTunes. It says that I need to check the link.. while I’ve been downloading without any problems in the past. You have any idea what the problem could be?
    Thanks!

    • Hi,
      please tell me the name of the audio file, so that I can check the problem.
      Or you just can’t download any of them now?

      • Hi,
        Thanks for the fast reply.
        I first thought that I just couldn’t download nr. 32, but I just found out I can’t download any of the files. I tried it on itunes on another PC and when trying to download it says that the url isn’t correct and that I should check if it’s the correct url or not. I copied the url it’s using: http://www.slow-chinese.com/?feed=podcast is that the correct one? I’ve tried it both through the site and through iStore self.

        Best regards,
        T

        PS. I can download other podcasts without problems

        • Hi,
          it’s true, you were right, there was something wrong with my feed, which caused dead link to podcast-downloading in iTunes. Thank you veeeeeeery much for telling me the problem! I’ve checked it carefully, validated the feed again and it’s gonna work now! Problem solved! Enjoy yourself here!

  21. Great Website!! Thank you so much. In addition to Hanzi, I translate your texts into Pinyin and English and include them as lyrics in my iTunes. If you could do this, it would make the site even more user-friendly.

    Thanks again and 辛苦你啦！

    • Hi,
      glad you love my work!
      I’m still working on the function you said, adding Pinyin and translation to the text. But I will only add them to the website if I find the right plugin. The mp3 has already chinese transcript as lyrics, and adding more content to the mp3 will make it slow to load and not comfortable to read.
      Wish you make more progress!

    • Hi, it’s so nice of you to recommend me another website with plenty of chinese-learning resources. Actually there’re so many good websites that I haven’t discovered and dont’ have enough time to visit, and I myself can learn a lot about China and Chinese through those Websites. Thanks!
