And get a sneak preview of the upcoming video series, entitled ****source not found****]]> 2009-03-28 18:00:00 <![CDATA[By: bababardwan]]> The start of this N&F was reminding me of sesame street.Todays episode was brought to you by the number x and the letter f,hehe.Will a Chinese version of the Count be making an appearance by any chance?

Been looking forward to giving the activity stream a go.Just been busy catching up on the recent lessons first.The more I look at it,the more it does look like a great idea.

Great to finally get to hear the Light interview.Well done mate.Have a ball in China.It would be great to hear an interview at the end too.Poddie interviews always add an extra element of interest to N&F.

Can't wait for the new video series.Sounds like it will be more than a weeks waiting hey?

And you  just know you said it right. Wrong.  After a while they will understand you, but then a terrible thing happens, they answer you. Now its your turn to be the Roo. And so it goes. Now you have to come back once a year and test your progress. Giving up is not an option.

Hehe.. The interview came out really well! It feels like such a long time ago that I was in Shanghai. I have been logging in to ChinesePOD every couple of days and listening to the lessons but it's been such a whirlwind tour of China that I haven't found the time to comment much in the lessons.

I've been keeping a blog of all my travels and even that is a few days behind. The blog currently has up to day 8 while I am still in Wuhan but now I have been in Chengdu for 5 days already and will leave for Xi'an tomorrow! So a lot of catching up to do. There's so much to say about everywhere I go and see and do, that it takes a while to put it up on the blog in words. You can read the blog at http://daily.lukeparsons.info/ and also see my pictures on flickr by clicking on one of the pictures on the blog.

On the blog, I talk also about the language difficulties and successes that I have been having as I go around the country. It's been a great trip so far but it's only about half way through today. Still another 2 weeks of traveling to go with Xi'an next and then Beijing for a whole week before heading back to Shanghai. I will come to see ChinesePOD again at the end, if they can put up with having 2 Aussies in the office again! :) haha

Today I am off to Leshan to see the Grand Buddha, which from memory stands at a tall 84m.

]]> <![CDATA[By: aeriph]]> The activity stream is so good. I've read on the blogs of a few learners of Mandarin that Twitter and its clones are ideal for learning so it's great to see CPod incorporate this. Sometimes I can't get over how good CPod is! I'm looking forward to more great developments.

I was wondering today if we could have a new exercise in the vocabulary section, to go with the flashcards and concentration game. It's already used as an exercise for each lesson - the game where you have to join up each hanzi with its English meaning. Could this be set up to use our personal vocab lists (and also let us match hanzi to pinyin)?
