小朋友, 你好!! (Little friends, greetings!!)

Ni Hao,

From ChinesePod : Listen to newbie 107 "Little Friends" and newbie 86 "How are you?"

This is the best website for learning authentic Chinese dialogues. I am a huge fan of theirs. The only problem I have is with the sometimes too lengthy English introduction. However, you are always in control. Just move the cursor to the part you want to listen to. Save the audio files in your MP3 and you can listen to them all the time or save them in your computer file, organize them for better access.

Again, I salute them for their efforts.
