friedman was correct, I'd recommend the popular childrens book that focus on teaching kids chinese, example would be http://www.mandyandpandy.com/

I think that the audio tracks that this children's language book has will be very useful

Chinesepod produces great podcasts. Even though I already live in China, I frequently listen to their podcasts to pick up new vocabulary and supplement my classroom learning. Still, any real progress in a foreign language requires a speaking component. For people not living in China, I think www.italki.com is great site for finding lots of native Chinese speakers who are eager to do language exchange. Its a good, free way to check your pronunciation and acquisition of the language and to develop confidence in speaking.

There are also an increasing number of companies in China which are teaching Chinese online; however, the lessons aren't free.

Thomas Friedman is a very persuasive purveyor of bad ideas, ideas that are adopted by the "environmental activists" and politicians and imposed on Americans as government policies.

Thomas Friedman also recently spent time in Denmark (on the New York Times expense account again)

Thank you for the interesting pages.
