Her voice is very clear and it's standard mandarin. Even if it wasn't, this is an Upper Intermediate lesson, we need to get used to several accents. And try to make EVERY chinese citizen speak in an unified way is an IMPOSSIBLE task, every single country in the world has different accents in different regions. In China the problem is even bigger, because of the different dialects, which can be regarded as different languages. If we foreigners can't understand what they say, the problem is ours, not theirs.

Posted on: How do you fix a boring Chinese course?

真巧，正好昨天上海交通大学开学，我就在面对你们描述的问题。

来中国之前我自学了两年的中文，90%的词汇量来自中文播客，因为巴西圣保罗的汉语学校非常的差！不过，那时候还是说不出口，毕竟没有什么机会用中文交流。所以去年我决定来中国，在复旦大学学习中文。结果，我发现了大学的课程为了提高沟通能力简直没什么帮助！不仅教材的内容很无聊，不实用，还有很多老师的教学方式过于传统，像演讲一样，很少和学生们交流。一个学期下来，我发现了：还是中文播客最实用的，最有意思。

这个学期，我在交通大学报名了，第一个印象不太好。老师讲课讲得太没精神，而且教室里装着30个学生！这是什么语言课程？

哎，我没有在拍你们的马屁，可说实话，没有了中文播客我学中文的爱好就不会这么有趣，这么有效。我还得顺便去一下中文播客的办公室拥抱你们！

自从我第一次吃了就迷上了，想想就流口水！在成都我吃了一个辣得要命的火锅，真爽！现在我住在上海。我和同学们上瘾了麻辣烫！上星期我吃了五次！有意思的是这些餐厅越脏越好吃！昨天服务员还在我们旁边放屁了！看到了我们惊讶的表情，她忍不住哈哈大笑！哈哈哈！中国真的好玩！！！

Posted on: 年轻人的生育观

我觉得在家人或社会的压力下生孩子不是最高明的选择。我完全能理解妈妈的感觉，但是这种态度很自私。“妈妈要抱孙子”。小孩子不是宠物。

就算决定生孩子，我觉得每个人应该分析一下自己：“我适合做爸爸/妈妈吗？我的能力和知识能够好好养一个人类吗？”。毕竟除了物价高，还有自己的性格的方面。准备好为了孩子付出那么多？把孩子带过去哪里哪里，周末放弃去自己喜欢的地方为了陪孩子去买玩具，看孩子的电影等等。生了孩子，首先来孩子的生活。

很多人生孩子因为怕变老后，后悔没生。这也很自私，毕竟几年后，人也可以一样后悔。很多人后悔结婚，生孩子，只是承认后悔的很少。

我越来越发现中国和我的国家，巴西，有很多共同点。在巴西也买不到正版的游戏机，大部分都是水货。正版的话，几乎没有人敢买，因为进口税太高了。

Posted on: Playing Wii

我从小就喜欢玩游戏！所以我对电子游戏的想法比较“传统”的，根本无法欣赏 Nintendo Wii. 从90年代下来，电动游戏经过很大的改善。不仅画面越来越真实的，还有故事的内容，音乐，都很有艺术价值。Wii 的游戏反而只是为了赚钱，人家买，玩一下就放弃。

I love video games since I was little. So, my opinion about video games is kind of "traditional", I simply can't appreciate the Nintendo Wii. Since the 90's, video games evoluted a lot. Not only the graphics are more real, but the stories are very well elaborated, music, there's a lot of art value in it. Wii games, on the other hand, are just for making money. People buy, play it for some days and then forget about it.

Sorry if my English is rusty, I've been studying chinese as a maniac, hahaha!

Posted on: Why are You Studying Chinese?

大家好！我是巴西人，从小就喜欢东方文化，练了9年的传统武术。顺便开始学中文。不过，很快就发现了，光靠学校课程是不可能的，每个星期上一次两个小时的课，至少需要3个来生才能说好！

我的中文80%来自 Chinesepod, 我真的想去上海拥抱你们！！！

越来越多巴西人想学中文，但是在一些城市，找老师不是容易的事，所以我换个工作，以前是功夫老师，现在做中文老师。我非常喜欢，不过，我越学习越认为在巴西没办法达到流利的中文，日常生活简直没有机会用中文说话。

最近我问自己：“你这个白痴，你主要目标就是说流利的中文，干吗还在巴西呢？？？”。骂自己一顿之后，我在考虑搬到中国，这样才有环境来提高我中文水平。所以来请教你们，在中国哪里我可以专业学中文？谢谢大家！


Hi everybody! I'm brazilian. I love eastern culture since childhood,and I have been training Kung Fu for ten years.By the way, I started to learn chinese as well. But I soon realized that having only one 2 hours class per week, I would need at least 3 incarnations to reach a satisfactory level.

80% of the chinese I know come from Chinesepod, I really want to give all of you a hug!!

Many brazilians who speak english are starting to study chinese. But in some cities, it's impossible to find a teacher! So I stopped teaching Kung Fu and started to teach chinese. I really enjoy teaching chinese, but the more I study, the more I find that there's no way I can become fluent in chinese living in Brazil! At daily life,there's no chance to practice it.

So, I asked me: "You idiot, what you want the most is to be able to speak chinese fluently, so, what the hell are you doing in Brazil???". Finally I started to consider the idea of moving to China to study. This way I can speak chinese every day and study even more seriously. So, I would aprecciate some help from you, where in China can I study chinese for a long time? In a university? Thanks in advance!!!

我最喜欢恐怖故事。我四岁的时候，我妈妈也去世了。真可惜这个小孩子的爸爸跟我的根本不一样，我爸爸是世界上最好的。
