Hi Pani,
Thanks for your comment. The audio files are free at Capturing Chinese with the purchase of one of our books. The audio files add up to hours and hours of listening time. Why don’t you download the sample and see what you think? You can sign up for the sample on our homepage: http://capturingchinese.com/
Keep up your Chinese! 加油!
Kevin
i just downloaded the free sample and i am so excited!!! i will purchase it from amazon next week when i will go back to Cyprus (i am in China now). It’s really a great work. The accompanied audio, the way you put the original text, the selected characters (not all) for translation and the way you present the pinyin so it will attract the eye is exactly what i was looking for ages…AMAZING
Thank you! I always appreciate comments from fans. Please let me know what you think of the books when you get them. Enjoy!
When will the free audio files for “Prose and Poems by Revolutionary Chinese Authors” be up? I got the book a few days ago and I was expecting these audio files to be up already…
Augustus,
I am terribly sorry for the delay. However, I am happy to report we are wrapping them up now and expect to have them posted on January 14th.
Cheers,
Kevin
