Benny, weishenme do we have to pay to just learn this useful language? I, like many others, couldn’t even afford the cheapest amount, just to learn. The best thing about this website was the fact that it was useful and FREE!! Why does it have to be that much money for a certain amount of time? I can’t even expand my knowledge because this website is now restricting me. I wish it hadn’t changed this way.

Hi Kelsey,

Thanks for the nice suggestion, I think this an alternative for people who can’t pay for a long time in once and people who just want to pay month by month, just to test if this site is good enough for a long term study.

I will discuss this price strategy with my team. I believe we will work out a new package soon, but remember you can come to scrapbook to post any questions, this section is always free

Also Kelsey, you can still make buddies and share ideas! The SCRAPBOOK is also a great way to ask questions and learn – and don’t forget BENNYPAD! ;o) Have you seen the new version?

I don’t really have anyone on here to share with, and I am quite terrible at sharing and making friends, even though you have a point.

I agree with Kelsey…One of the great things about this website was that it was free…however, I understand that you need to generate income. However, I do think the price may be a bit high. I also do miss the videos. Haven’t had a chance to fully explore the rest of the new features.

Ah, lucky you! I guess I’m at an advantage with learning my Chinese, because my boyfriend is Chinese and tries to help me a lot with all of this, even though I try to do it all by myself. I plan on hopefully visiting China next summer, Beijing, and I know I’ll pick up more Chinese as well, should be exciting! I’d like to visit Shanghai as well, any suggestions on fun things to do? :P
