Happy you're still here, Jenny. Wishing you continued success. Back in 2008 when I first found you guys - now that was something special. Oh well. Change must come to us all.

I just flew China Air to a Thai Island.  The whole plane was educated, young, just married Chinese couples.  They all followed a person with a flag to a bus from the terminal.  特别浪漫的!哈哈

I don't know the Shanghai betting rules. The E. character says he won, but he never placed his bet.  He is not a laipi. He was never in the contest.

I'm finished the lesson, and it was great, but could you might wanna go back and re-record this line in the expansion:

还是早点出发说不定路上堵车。  The voice keeps saying: ...haishi zao chu ba ba.  LOL

On second thought, gao and shang was not your intention, but I have seen you do this on purpose.

Something that I have noticed in so many of the lessons that you have created over the past four years that I have been using chinesepod involves characters or sounds that are similar to other words (previously taught)and how you go out of your way to make sure to include the familiar character or word in the expansion while teaching the new character/word. In this lesson you teach shangliang (商量), but you make sure to have a sentence with the word 高 so that we can notice the character difference between 商and 高. You do this a lot and this extra effort is really helpful and greatly appreciated.

My question not interesting? I think she's saying zuixin in a lesson where you are teaching zuijin. That doesn't kinda bother you? I stopped using Englishpod for my ESL classes because there were so many mistakes. You guys are usually more about cleaning these things up. If I am wrong or if there is some alternate pronunciation of zuijin, it would be nice to know.
