When we relaunched Popup Chinese, we hinted at a number of new features slated for release. Today we're pleased to announce the first: new video lessons. Join Anthony and Gail in this short video as they grab a drink at a local cafe in support of our new video lessons and their more interactive features.

To get started, just click on the video player to our left. You should see a lightbox appear with our video in it. As you watch the video, you'll notice an annotated transcript appear alongside it. You can click anytime to pause the video and mouseover the transcript for our manually-edited popups. And if you're looking for an extra challenge, you can also enter dictation mode. This will play the video, but stop it occasionally to test your listening comprehension. Provide the missing Chinese characters when prompted. The video will only continue when you enter them correctly.

As always, all of our features are under active development. If you have any feedback or suggestions please send them to us at service@popupchinese.com.
