The male commenter is especially irritating. I don't want a 30 seconds introduction with special sound effects and useless blabla, if you could get straight on to the lessons, I'd prefer that. Right now, ChinesePod might be something I'd like to listen to while driving a car, because of its slow peace and all the filler put in, but it's not a good resource for focused learning. Hello,

I'll see what we can do about emphasizing the "absolute beginner" nature of this blog. Keep in mind that we're following the university pace, so by next semester we'll already be getting into Elementary lessons. As time goes by, you may find the content of the blog more relevant to your level. Thanks for the comment, Barry!

However I only discovered it by accident after rummaging around on the weblog for a while. Perhaps this is why there are so few comments on the lessons. (Either that or Chinesepod has taught us all so well that we don't feel the need for these lessons - which can't be true). I know it features on the homepage but perhaps you should highlight clearly the fact that it's for Complete Beginners. I don't feel the current 'blurb' does this.
