Wouldn't following would be more high frequency? 我去 www.baidu.com/mp3 下载音乐。 要多少钱？ 什么？ 有人付钱下载音乐吗？ Ok, teasing aside, for those who want to try to download Chinese music, John from Sinosplice has a translation guide: www.sinosplice.com/life/archives/2005/08/08/using-baidu-mp3-search]]> Michael

Jenny, Ken and the CPod Team, Thank you fro a very nice lesson today. Especially for a classc rainy season day here in Taiwan. I think if you are a Newbie from the beginning of Chinesepod this is certainly a Newbie lesson. But as you mentioned Ken, if you joined later then it is a Newbie II. For the newest Newbie's I think it is great to give some new lessons that go all the way back to our early beginnings next week. More active CPoddies the better. Recently, I have been having fun speaking out loud. I usually have goals of trying to plan to use specifc words in a conversation somehow during the day. Sort of I think the way your academic team works. I was thinking this must have been the way the Seinfield writers worked. Start with a joke then figure out how to make a story using it. So like the classic Seinfield's my speaking revolves around "nothing" or lunch which is often soup. Somewhere on the blog I believe Aunty Sue ran into a cousin of the famous soup nazi when she tried to speak Chinese. Anyways, recently I have been trying to use double words like today's 試試 or 看看 "kànkàn" to take a look. I think it was Jenny in this show mentioned using 試試 to make it a gentle request to try. What was funny earlier in the show Ken mentioned while discussing how much it costs that 要多少钱 is a REALLY REALLY useful phrase. So are other cases like 常常 "chángcháng" -often- emphasis like REALLY REALLY Lastly yesterday while waiting to catch a bus to Tainan I saw on the wiating room door. " 時時 關心" - shíshí guānxīn- time,time, close heart which I learned means Always Be Careful. So do you think it would be possible for Jenny to play the part of Elaine and Ken you would be a natural Kramer and do a non story story using plenty of double words. It would amuse me on another rainy day. Mike in Jubei]]> Mike

I really love the Advanced lessons, I just don't understand the non-dialouge speech. I know it's good to have Chinese spoken all the time, but I just don't understand it all. Is there a way of finding out what is being said in Advanced lessons? Troy]]> Troy Carter

Mike, it wasn't on the blog it was on the forum http://www.wushu.be/ChinesePod/viewtopic.php?t=107 What's "the famous soup nazi"? Today on the train two women sat opposite me speaking Chinese. I didn't understand anything of course, but recognised the odd syllable here and there. Their speech was so clear! Unlike other Chinese I've heard snatches of around Sydney, this was so good I could have written it all down in pinyin! So as they were leaving I asked, what part of China are you from, expecting, you know, Beijing or Harbin or something. They said South Eastern China. I'm wondering if this is anything like when I was in Germany with my phrase book and nobody was speaking like the phrase book said, I couldn't understand them, until I met one lady with perfect German and we chatted in German for a few minutes before she asked me where I was from. Then she broke into English: I'm from Sydney too!]]> AuntySue

AuntySue I keep forgetting the world is upside down where you are. Has Seinfeld even gained a foothold there. Its already over (nine seasons) in US. Anyways I thought of your soup escapade and the soup nazi episode. You can go to http://www.tv.com/seinfeld/the-soup-nazi/episode/2356/summary.html It was one of the better remembered episodes along with the show about nothing. Mike in Jubei]]> Mike

Oh, OK. I remember people saying they watch Seinfld since about ten years ago, but I don't have a TV. Yeah, it was kinda like that, except shorter because of my limited vocab.]]> AuntySue
