@guillina,

This is actually the new website. The design is quite similar to the old version, but the usability is hopefully much better and there are some new features. If you take a look at Popup Cantonese (http://popupcantonese.com) you can see the differences more clearly.

The major changes to make the site iOS friendly? We've modified most of the premium pages to try and eliminate unnecessary complexity and make them usable on smaller screens. We've also added a new placement test that is designed for smaller touch-dominant screens. We've tried to simplify the signup process to make it easier for people to download all of our mp3 files and transcripts onto their computers and mp3 player (details: http://popupchinese.com/account/setup_itunes) and customize all of the premium files for people based on their account settings.

Areas for improvement? Because iOS doesn't support flash, the audio buttons for playing the line-by-line recordings of the dialogues are non-functional in Safari. The flash player does not work either, although there is a simple workaround to play the mp3s in Safari: if you open the link to the downloadable version of the mp3 it will play directly in the browser window. That said, we still recommend everyone just downloads all of the mp3 files and installs them on their portable device.

There is more mobile stuff under development, but for now those are the big changes.

Best,
