January 10, 2009 at 2:45 AMWow, that's sad news! Amber, I always looked forward to listening to your weekly Qing Wen and Dear Amber podcasts. They were super helpful, interesting, and very entertaining. There's no doubt in my mind that you'll go down in history as a Chinese Pod star. Wish you the best of luck in NY.

October 10, 2008 at 12:54 AMGreat lesson. I've always wondered about those two words. By the way, here are two possible future Qing Wen ideas -- the correct use of 讓/叫 and the many uses of 弄. Thanks for all the great help!

September 29, 2008 at 1:15 AMHi John,
Yes...well, I play guitar professionally and do both freelance recording work and session recording through a music production co. in the Bay Area. But I also have a day job as a teacher =). It's funny you mentioned They Might Be Giants. They are one of my influences. Thanks again for the nice comments and I'm looking forward to the Chinese lessons this week.

September 10, 2008 at 12:01 AMAwesome. You guys are the best. I really like how Chinese Pod is expanding and trying out new things.
I mentioned this in a previous post, but I'll just say it again - I think it would really valuable in the video lessons to include both the traditional and simplified characters.
Keep up the great lessons!

September 6, 2008 at 12:09 AMHi guys,
This is a great new idea! It really targets visual learners. More of these videos would be super helpful.
The one suggestion I have is just to make sure the vocabulary is written in both traditional and simplified characters. I like how you've incorporated this idea on the normal pages when a mouse drags over a word.
Keep up the great work
Mike
