2009-06-16 / 05:19PM | | Hi Kelsey, even if you don’t pay, you can still access to all the content of “white belt (we have made more new content)”, benny’s pad, scrapbook and benny’s blog.
Everyone of AskBenny team has put tremendous effort in the past 2 years. To maintain this site, it requires big amount of time, man power and fund.
Therefore we need support from our users in order to make this site better and grow faster.
I completely understand and respect your opinion, at the same time I appreciate your continuous support to AskBenny.

2009-06-17 / 02:26AM | | I believe nothing can stop you from learning so long as you are really love it. I know that I do really love this language, however, a lot of things are usually in my way of learning this language. I was just disappointed that this website that I like so much has changed. I wouldn’t mind paying 15 dollars or so a month, but the lowest price, 50-semi dollars? The younger people on here such as myself and younger simply cannot afford it. However, the limited content has forced me to do further research, which in return will make me a better student, =) | |

Personally, if I can I wish I could make this site free forever, however, as a company here in Shanghai with 30 people here work every day in a full time basis. I have to say, it’s impossible to maintain it any more in a free way, especially after 2 years free of charge for this site.
In a addition We still have lots of free content here, you can always learn from it and any questions, just post it on the scrapbook, I will answer asap.
Thank you.
Benny

Sometimes things are not work out the way that you think it should be. In China I used to learn English in lots of websites for free, but since last year, many website started to charge its users, maybe because of the economy crisis, they have no money at all.

Hi Kelsey,
Personally, if I can I wish I could make this site free forever, however, as a company here in Shanghai with 30 people here work every day in a full time basis. I have to say, it’s impossible to maintain it any more in a free way, especially after 2 years free of charge for this site…. I know how much effort it takes to maintain this website. Money, time, and knowledge all play a big part, I know this. But, I am just wondering about the younger users on this site, how are they supposed to pay 50+ dollars like that for learning? I would, like I said, be happy to pay to learn this way, but it seems a lot more money than I can access at this point. Is there any way in the future the price will decrease? | |

Thanks for the reply,USD50+ is not for 1 month, this is for 3 month time. That is to say “USD16”/ month. I believe this is reasonable price.
Let me know your thoughts

Benny I know that it is for three months, and the 16 dollars a month isn’t too bad, but I do have a suggestion. I would almost rather pay every month, and just pay that 16 dollars every month, because to me, the 50+ seems a lot to pay all in one time. | |
