New Course Found!

Ninmen hao!
"Qian1 li3 zhi1 xing2 shi3 yu2 zu2 xia4." (1000 mile's journey begin with foot down)
A long journey begins with a single step.-Lao3zi3
Wo de xing2 shi3 jin1tian1. (My journey begins today)

I found a new source for Chinese learners. MIT has open online courses (free) for those people learning languages such as Mandarin Chinese on their own. I just learned this today, browsing the web. :D
MIT is on of the top schools in the US, known for its high standards. Therefore to offer mandarin for free online-from beginner to fluency, it makes the top ten in my book as well. ;P
Here is the URL for the link to its website:
