Mandarin while I wait

These days there aren't many updates about my application process. But I do occasionally listen to mandarin audio lessons like Pimsleurs. They are really good, and you can use them almost anywhere, anytime, as long as you don't annoy other people by speaking out loud. Personally I use them while I'm on the threadmill, driving my car or when I'm chilling in my room in the evening. The more mandarin I learn before september, the better! Sometimes, when I'm on the train and have to be quiet, I listen to chinese podcasts. I searched "mandarin" in iTunes podcast section, and I also found some interesting ones at The question of chinese language podcasts. Each time I listen, I recognize more and more words, which prooves progress. You should try it out!
