ChinesePod.com

I have now bought a one year subscription on chinesepod.com! I think it is a great resource for learning mandarin. I hope this will help me to study more effectively. If you want to check it out, all newbie lesson podcasts are available for free. However if you want access to all levels, PDF transcripts and much more, you have to subscribe.

Can you please repeat?

Qing wen, ni neng chong fu yi bian ma?

Qing wen = please
Ni = you
Neng = can
chong fu = repeat
yi bian = once

Zong shi = always
