What was the look on Connie's face when Clay said "poop it out?"
每天 Connie 都骂我。 我对她害怕。 每次他要打破我的头！
Every Little Step is Bobby Brown 1989.
Every Time You Go Away is Hall & Oats 1980, Paul Young 1985.

Clay: Y'all comeback now, ya hear?
:)
當Chinesepod完成一節“請問”的課，我每一次查核如果Clay說Y'all.
When Chinesepod finishes a Qingwen lesson, I check everytime if Clay says "Y'all".

There doesn't seem to be any sound today to anyof the lessons.
rjberki says

Yes the entire site is without sound.

Looks like the http://s3.amazonaws.com site, where all audio and lesson photos reside, is down.

Connie~you go girl ;^)
wjefferys says
July 20, 2008
I understand that there's no real difference between
and
but it occurred to me that in English there are two phrases that track these, that have very slightly different meanings: "Every day" versus "Every single day."
Even if these nuances aren't the same for these phrases in Chinese, they might be a useful way to remember that both can be used.
If Connie or Jenny has any comments on this, I'd be interested in hearing them.
songyian says

I'm kind of partial to this Jackie Chan song~Endless Love from the Myth.
bazza says
July 21, 2008
I honestly always thought the lyrics were "Everytime you go, you take a piece of meat with you...". hehe
amber says
July 21, 2008
hi wjeffreys,
每一天 (měi yī tiān) is a little more emphasized than 每天 (měitiān). You definitely could use it like the English: 'every single day.'
pinkjeans says

Thanks, Songyian, for the video...quite nice...very typical kungfu movie music.

Amber & Clay,
French has "vous" vs. "tu", Chinese has 你们 vs. 你, so why not "y'all" vs. "you"? I never thought I'd say y'all either, but now I prefer it as an unambiguously plural form.

Hi Connie, no pdf's forthcoming for future Qing Wens? would really be nice....
calkins says
July 21, 2008
Great QW. I enjoyed the cheesy songs. Next time I want to hear Connie sing!
Bazza, THAT is hilarious!
flyboeing, QW never has PDF's for the dialogue. You could copy and paste Connie's sentences into a text document.

I still have a tough time believing that people in Asia enjoy listening to Jackie Chan sing. Then again, if David Hasseloff can have a singing career in Europe, why can't Jackie Chan do the same in Asia?
sballa says
July 22, 2008
To extend the 每天 construct, would it be correct to use 每天早上 for "every morning" and 每天晚上 for "every evening"?
Steve
kongkunhuan says
July 22, 2008
what is the name of that song.and which one is his song.
amber says
July 22, 2008
hi Steve,
Yes, it is correct to say:
每天早上 (Měitiān zǎoshang)
每天晚上 (Měitiān wǎnshang)
amber says
July 22, 2008
hi kongkunhuan,
The song by Jackie Chan is
在我生命中的每一天

Great but.....the looped background music....please make it stop!

Hi guys great job, how about a lesson on the difference between 否则 and 要不然. I just can't seem to figure out the difference.
pretzellogic says
July 24, 2008
Remember, the Police said:
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
Ill be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
Ill be watching you
Too bad they broke up. Sting just isn't the same

I really enjoyed Songyian's Jacky Chan song. Learning some of these common tunes makes it a lot easier to remember certain sentence patterns.
ewong says
December 8, 2008
I sometimes see repetition for "every" like
每天= 天天,
我每天上班。
我天天上班。
