About KongLongMandarin
KongLongMandarin is a website for learning Mandarin Chinese. Its homepage says that the common bottom-up sequence (pinyin, characters, words, sentences, then conversations and stories) is less natural than the reverse, and it describes an approach centered on acquiring the language through listening and speaking rather than being taught.
The site lists self-guided lessons, how-to guides, and a grammar and expressions section. It also refers to a previous project titled "Learn Chinese with Peppa Pig." The homepage asks visitors to contribute to hosting costs, but the homepage text does not show how to do so. Pricing is unknown.
