Six months membership, that’s what I was thinking of.
Mainland Chinese story tellers are very good. Also the people who give voices to foreign films. Both Mandarin and Cantonese. In Hong Kong, there are also good story tellers, but filming dubbing is terrible.
What a shame that New Zealand’s not even on the list. Bah! I’ve been something of an on-and-off paying member, largely because my language of focus is Chinese (and I need characters first), but surely I’m not the only one in this country who’s at least a Basic member? Maybe I need to get out and start gluing LingQ banners to random lamp posts!
What I find interesting about this is that the USA is at the top. I would not have expected that because other than my online friends from the USA, I know few people here who have an interest in learning a second or third language. Perhaps with online opportunities to learn languages, that is changing. I certainly hope so.
