I disagree with this suggestion. The more you travel around Chinese-speaking countries, the more you realize that "standard" pronunciation is a myth in the real world. Various locales in China have distinct pronunciations. Even Singaporean and Malaysian pronunciation differs despite a similar history and close proximity. LA Mandarin is not the same as Taiwanese Mandarin and so on and so forth. The variety of pronunciation between first language and second language individuals is helpful.

I've had an account for a long time, but need some intense refreshers. Thanks so much for the new(er) lessons and format. I love it. Good job Jenny and Grace!

From a special effects sound point, I guess his voice sort of did sound like the booming, raging husband in a soap opera, haha.

Although the audio was rough at the beginning, it was no worse than any of us who have had conversations on a city bus.

Personally, I loved the conversation. It's one of my favorites up to this point with lots of useful phrases.

Okay, so now I'm really interested in going back to the doctor because my wife who is four and a half months pregnant had an ultrasound and the doctor was like "看不清楚.“ So does that mean it's a girl, or simply that she couldn't see clearly?
