On 26th September 2006, I started a ten week course with Oxfordshire Adult Learning. The short beginners course has proved to be very interesting and entertaining. Currently there are two weeks remaining of the course, but a follow-on course is scheduled for January 2007.
Additionally, I have been using my car journey, to work, to listen to chinese language lessons that I have downloaded from the Internet. The main course that I have been listening to is the Chinese Learn Online podcast which I download and transfer to CD. These lessons are generally around nine to twelve minutes in length, but I find that you need to listen to them several times. There is a new one every two days and as of today there are 35 different lessons available. Initially, basic lesson notes were available, but these have now stopped.
I have recently discovered another podcast from chinesepod.com that releases a new lesson every day and already has 430 lessons available! I've downloaded a few to try, including all three from the Olympic section.
