Me, too, on the German and ArabicPod mention from Ryan. The recent release of the FrenchPod and ItalianPod seem to be a success, as far as I can tell from the other side of the world!

I've been watching Sinosplice and Praxis for years now, since I was living in China myself. I know the dude behind a lot of the technical Web work (David L.) and have been getting little bits from him as well since he moved to Shanghai.

All and all, I am pleasantly impressed with Praxis and your (John) involvement with the team seems to have greased the gears, so to speak. Excellent stuff!

Oh geez, Erica. You should know this by now: L'italiano è la lingua del futuro!

John B: It's called "immersion" and you know you love it!

Anyway thanks for the positive feedback! I can't wait until we get into some of our wackier ideas! Also I have to mention that we at ItalianPod are extremely impressed with how fast everyone is learning Italian!

Has-been...quoi?! Mais, non! French is the official language of at least 28 countries, the only language other than English that is spoken on five continents AND the second most frequently used language on the Internet (Christophe frequently reminds us on the FrenchPod team of these figures).

So it's a good thing that we are sitting behind you to turn you on to French, so that you can, at last, learn the second official language of the International Postal Service!

There are plans for JapanesePod, but the time is not quite right.

If you look at the top right corner of this website, you'll see how long it's been since I've been using Japanese regularly. I still speak it and understand it pretty well, but I won't be a host for JapanesePod. I can tell if someone's Japanese is good enough for the job, though!

Italian Pod! Brilliant. E’ importante per tutti gli stranieri e cinesi qui a Cina imparare una lingua cosi bella.

Praxis is hiring teachers for Japanesepod. I know that John graduated with a degree in Japanese, so he might be the lead teacher in Jappod, 對不對？

If Praxis did a Japanesepod, I’m sold!
