It is not exactly a CD, but I really like the Chinese lessons at Chinesepod. Com There is a lot of variety in their topics and the lessons are fun. They have a fresh batch every week, and a large archive of lessons for most levels.
You could download some lessons and burn them onto a CD, but I think it is more convenient to use an MP3 player.
Thanks for the recommendation! I've heard of chinesepod. Com, I just got an iphone so I think I can download them and listen to it in the car.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
