Squeak: Master and Companion....

About

Squeak is our office cat who in the last few years has turned Popup Towers into his own private fiefdom of

glass, aluminum and dot-com excellence. Whenever we're recording, he'll paw at the studio door trying

to get in. Visitors are always greeted with excitement out of the hope they might bring something edible,

and when he wants to relax on his favorite chair, good luck dragging him away from the computer or

getting any work done.

Learning Chinese? This lesson is intended for Absolute Beginners to the Chinese language. We start

with a fairly simple and straightforward dialogue, and move on with a podcast that will teach you some of

the absolute basics to speaking mandarin. So if you're new to Chinese give it a listen and see what you

think. And if you have comments or questions, feel free to leave a note, or contact us anytime by email

at service@popupchinese.com.
