 Hi Chinespod,

 Elijah and Grace, great lesson! The new team is getting better each time and slowly coming closer to live up to the old team, which is a big deal. The old team was really, really good. Also, thanks to the team for listening to our advice. That's really helped. But the main thing I wanted to address is that Chinespod has not been making any new lessons for almost a month now. I am always looking forwards to the new lessons with interesting topics. Please make new lessons!

Chinespod,

 I am confused with the grammar section also. There are only copies of the same character;

能 

"Can" in the sense of "to be able to." The word 能 can refer not only to inherent ability, but also to the existence of the proper circumstances. For example, if you are asking someone if they "can come" to an event, you would use 能来, referring to circumstances (whether or not the person's schedule is free) rather than physical ability (transporting one's body to the appropriate location).

 

 

Note that 能 can be modified be adverbs of degree such as 很, 特别, 真 and 最, indicating an even higher level of ability.

At 2:54 and other places I noticed there were extremely abrupt changes in camera perspective. Not only is it unexpected but it is extremely annoying and has no real reason of being there. It really does nothing positive to help the video.

Other than that I really enjoyed the context and chemistry in this lesson and I learned a lot! I really enjoy the ATWTI series!

Thank You!

Yes, I have. Thanks for letting me know. I wasn't sure because the lesson didnt have the title ATWTI on it.
