RE: 夸个不停 is correct. 夸得不停 is not a right phrase I asked a native mainlander about this and 夸得不停 is grammatically correct but 夸个不停 is the conventional phrase. However, he thought the right character should be 咯 as in 夸咯不停 to indicate “the sound of continuous praising”

Lantian and Man2Toe, thanks for the mini chinese lesson/dialog. Entertaining and learned a lot. (Thanks to Firefox/Perakun, of course)

I don't think in chinese slow speed is a problem. Ever heard Premier Wen Jia Bao speak? (Not that I would understand anything, but I can definitely write down all the pinyin as he speaks :-) )

Lorean, What I mean is that as a premium user, I wish there were "premium" podcasts that would spend more time explaining, give more examples on usage. etc. I know a lot of that stuff can be found in the expansions, but for me I rather have that expansion feature in the podcast. This is "chinese on my terms" right? :-)

I feel that the business goals of CP: limit the podcasts to <15 minutes and to have lessons to be "self contained" do contribute to the gaps between levels. I wish there were “premium podcasts” without those limitations.
