(Cheesiness alert) Since our humble beginning in the summer of 2005, ChinesePod was blessed by a truly special community. Users like Bazza, Lantian, Art, Henning, MikeinJubei, Azerdocmom, Rich and many more are absolutely instrumental to how far we have come.
I also personally feel indebted to you guys.
I still cringe when I listen to my earliest recordings (they were so sketchy that we actually re-recorded them to improve the quality.) But fellow veteran Poddies so generously encouraged the little fledgling ChinesePod and myself. I often receive emails from users calling me their favourite 老师/laoshi. Actually, this is also how I feel about our users.
Fast track to the present, many of the early users are no longer active on the site due to different reasons, which is why I feel particularly sentimental. I want to give you a shout out and thank you with utmost sincerity. Oh, give me a shout back if you are reading this. And to all Poddies, frequent commenters and lurkers, thank you!
Sincerely,
Jenny
