May 27, 2008 at 1:20 AMJenny, This lesson was very useful. I find the "radical" differences, like nali vs. nar, much more confusing than the general differences, like s vs. sh, so I agree that the differences are more radical in this lesson. Is there any way you guys could include more vowel sound differences in your next episode? For example, the one I mentioned before, feng sounding like "fong".

July 18, 2007 at 1:26 AMSpeaking of flat tires, How about a lesson on the tour de france? It's the biggest annual sporting event in the world, and there are lots of bicyles in China, so it would be nice to know how to explain it to them when I go over there. Thanks! Leo
