The 232 Brand and Audio/Video English Domination
If you are reading this now, I’m guessing you already know what Add and I do on this website, and you have already listened to several of our audio podcasts (or several hundred!). That’s awesome! Maybe you have them all on your phone or computer. Maybe you are listening to one right now!
(BTW, we just made an AWESOME VIP lesson just now. We’ll have more free ones too, but the VIP room is getting sick! I can’t believe that was already VIP lesson 198. We’re almost at lesson 200 in JUST the VIP room alone. That’s INSANE. There is so much stuff in there that kicks ass… We’ll have to do something special for #200. Any ideas??? Please let us know in the comments below)
Ok, so as you know, the 232 brand is expanding (growing AND getting better). We bought businessenglish232.com (nothing there yet but big plans) and of course the new English learning video site learnenglish232.com that we’ve been working on every single day.
Whether or not you are a VIP member yet, you should check that site out every day; it’s great for helping spoken English and remembering ALL the meanings of words and phrases.
We are literally making a new video lesson every day on LearnEnglish232.com There will be other stuff there too, but videos will be a key part of that site. So… You’ll be able to see something new every single day there. It’s going to grow fast and we hope to see you there and participating in the comments.
We have A LOT of content (lesson) ideas already, but if there is anything that you’d like to see in terms of videos, topics, or whatever, please let us know in the comments on LearnEnglish232 OR in the comments of this blog post. I’ve been reading and responding to as many as I can on the new site. I haven’t even been sleeping and am going wild on the coffee!
We’re absolutely going to keep making China232 better and better. That plan hasn’t changed at all. It’s better than its ever been, but the point of this blog is to get you guys to ALSO go to learnenglish232.com for daily lessons of a different style.
I will give you a 100% guarantee that the mix of listening to both the full length podcasts on this site, COMBINED with watching all the focused videos on the new site (1 per day), your English will get better almost twice as fast as with the current method. Both styles are important. This site gives you long dialogues of common American style speech, the new site will give you DEEP meanings of words, slang, phrasal verbs, etc. It will help your memory, writing, and speaking.
You’ve probably noticed that I’ve started out with a lot of “phrasal verb lessons” on that site. I’m going to be teaching those, important and useful vocabulary, awesome phrases, super slang, stuff for IELTS, TOEFL, and TOEIC, and whatever else I can think of that will be useful, fun, and interesting for you guys.
Please let us know in the comments what you think of this new plan, AND what you think we should teach?
Do you guys like the idea of 3 sites? China232.com, LearnEnglish232.com, and BusinessEnglish232.com? Each of the sites will have a different, unique, AND useful purpose. Hopefully we can do a good enough job to make you guys a super fan of all 3! That is our goal, and we know that you will only use it if it’s great stuff, so Add and I are going to do the absolute best we possibly can.
The next few months are going to be wild for China232.com and ESPECIALLY LearnEnglish232.com Please keep giving your ideas while we make this site because we are still trying to make something that is PERFECT for what you guys really want and need.
Enjoy our Daily English learning Videos (Bookmark that site and check it every day as a new and awesome habit. You won’t be disappointed!)
And don’t forget to let us know what you think and what you want to see there! I’ll respond to your comments! Can’t wait to hear from you

Hey bros. Im From Russia ). Tnx for english lessons. Im 21 years old, student. My pc just sucks : Pentium 4, Nvidia 7300
I downloaded lessons in January 2011. Moreover during freeleach at torrent tracker i got like 200 Gb of english audio-video-text english stuff. Few month ago i deleted almoust all, but your leassons, and i just started to listen them while going to Univer and home.
At the begginig your lessons were way too loud early, and then silently in the middle and late parts…
Tnx you, have a nice day

Hey guys. I think it’s about a year that I know you tow brothers. First I found your lessons accidentally. I could download about 100 of your lessons for free!
Now I’m on lesson 38 or 39. I would become one of your VIP members I think. All your topics are interesting. But what about getting involve some of your friends and make your 200th lesson. Come on,
LESSON NUMBER 200: “CHINA232′S LOVERS”

Hi guys, you’re doing pretty good work.
I’d like to see more hesitation things, things that are common in speech. You should know what I mean. For example, the lesson with “point” was a good one.
Take care.

I love your video lessons and I can’t wait for more!

I have a suggestion for your 200 lesson “Peace and equality”..
Now it is up to you to make a podcast covering up the aforesaid topic.
Thanks a lot guys for your helpful podcast. I am living in Australia and It is 40 days that I am here and I always try to use your slang. Is there anyway that can help us to improve our listening very fast? I need your idea guys. When I am listening to news, documentary program or movie I can get 70-80% of the concept but speaking with real guys in real worlds is something different especially when you wanna talk to them on the phone. Particularly with Australian accent which is one of the hardest in the world.
PLEASE PLEASE respond to this comment…
Thanks a 1000,000

Hi dears,
I wish you ever-increasing success in your job, because it is definitely a win-win situation the better you do the lessons, the more we learn!
I have one question! why don’t you just focus on ONE WEBSITE and create different sections in it such as: Business lessons, Videos, MP3 podcasts, Phrasal verbs, Idioms and so on. In this way, you have One but a complete, integrated and comprehensive English learning website and you’ll have more followers for sure. Honestly I find it confusing and time-consuming to check several websites in order to find new lessons! I hope you pay attention to this matter guys.
and finally, for lesson number 200, you can choose best memorable sentences from your members since starting of china232. what ideas, suggestions, and criticisms have had the most influence on your job? what are your best impressions of your fans? I think this would be an interesting subject!
Best wishes,

why don’t we consider making a future podcast about cultural difference in the Eastern and Western culture like the Chinese will burn stupid paper money to their ancestors?
(I’m a Chinese and I think that’s absolutely crazy! People would think the dead ones would actually receive what they burn for them, then our Chinese ancestors must own a lot of burnt rubbish because there are so many incinerators in the world and so such rubbish waiting to be burnt.)
I have been wondering the reason for the Chinese putting a black-and-white photo of their past families on graves. BTW, the listeners might wanna know something about superstition, the most scariest, haunted ones, not able to explain with current scientific theories. So exciting! hope other listeners would think the way I do and accept these topics

Hi, guys! Thank you for your lessons. I do listen them almost every day. But I didn’t upload all the staff. But I will. I’m ViP member. Will be active in your sites very soon.
About milestone, I think it will be good if you will tell about your expanding plans for future. Maybe as part of lesson.
Also, you should prepare another special topic for the lesson #232!

Hi! I’m particularly interested in Business section. There I would like to learn “office vocabulary”, “business idioms”, all the names of positions that can exist in different companies (from CEO to PA), juridical terms that can be used in documents, contracts etc. Plus, such prepositions as “hereof, hereafter”, maybe specifics of sentence structure in official documents or letters, abreviations and other things. Please, write a blog when you are ready with the Business section.
Ideas for lesson #200 – soon is the Earth’s Day. You can raise theme of environment, or ways to manage our time and put priorities right in life, or as many students are here, give hints how to behave during the interview or useful phrases (or taboos) in their CVs.
Have a fruitful day!

Hello there!
I think that your new project is very interesting. Videos are short, concise and really helpful. Presentation of the information makes it easy to keep in mind for a long time. Great job!
