Another excellent lesson. :{D

Great teaching, Benny.

I tutor ESL to Chinese students. I enjoy it, but I don’t think my lessons are half as interesting as the ones here.

Much appreciated, Benny.

First question, then: :) Is there a certain order in which I should be completing the lessons? So far, I’ve been doing lessons at random, but some are a bit advanced for me, and will require repeated viewing/reading.

If there’s a progression to the lessons, I’d like to start at the beginning and work from there. But the lessons don’t seem to be numbered or ordered. Can you help?

Thanks again!

That’s a good question, Bai Chi-Ming.

You can go to “Bennysland” section, click “white belt”, there is a “introductory of white belt learnings”, click “get a taste of the experiences”, now you can see “24 hours white belt”, expand it. Now you can find the order. Of course the 1st hour is the beginning, and so on. You will find all experiences, comics and micro-classes here.

White belt is the very beginner, and following is yellow, green, blue, purple, red, brown and black belt. At this moment, as we are in Alpha stage, only white belt and few yellow belt are available, but we will do our best to give you the full version.

In “learning” section, yes, the order is random within each belt, which is kind of our principle: Learn what you want to learn. Do not need to follow lesson 1… lesson 2…

Oh! I must have missed something!

This is very exciting, then. I’ll work at a lesson or two per day and see how it comes along.

This is the best learning site I’ve come across. I’ll recommend it highly!

NI hao! Renny. Yes, at this stage, all audio and video is on Youtube. And right now our website is focusing on speaking. However, we are doing our best to build the content of the website. It’s possible to make written lessons in the future, we’ll keep you posted. Thanks for your comment.

Ni hao benny,
This the best learning method! I use to try learning from a book and a cd, but it was very boring. Keep up the good work. I hope you are feeling better from your surgery. I have to get all of my wisdom teeth removed three days after Christmas…I am so terrified!!

Thanks Benny,

I am motivated to do this

But I am finding navigating between tasks a bit slow. Maybe I need to upgrade my broadband to a faster speed?

Thanks again

Hi Benny,

great lesson, but I have a question.

This is the second time that you use WO KANKAN… does it mean that you are thinking? or you are considering it?
