And I'm series!
Some of the comments are interesting:
Jonathan Says: I know I guy here in Hunan who always carries around a copy of Obama’s election night speech in his man purse. He always has it.
Matthew Stinson Says: Makes sense, before that people were selling learn English from Tony Blair recordings and also Bill Clinton. Strangely enough, no one wanted to learn English from W. ;-)
Ben Ross Says: Wow. This should be a lot more effective than those “Learn English with George W. Bush” packages they sold when I was living in China. Mainly because Obama actually knows how to speak English properly.
luyi Says: I think his weekly white house podcast would be a great help to anyone learning English too.
Leslie Forman Says: I work with Chinese professionals to help them improve their oral English, and I think that Obama’s speeches are excellent for this purpose. I’ve found that Chinese students with a high level of English tend to talk too quickly, so pausing like Obama does in his speeches is a very useful exercise.
Also, I think that Chinese people really are interested in Barack Obama, so that’s an added bonus :)
