<![CDATA[Comments on: Son or Daughter?]]> 2009-07-01 18:00:00 <![CDATA[By: namename1011]]> Hello Chinese pod,

Can I trouble someone on your team to put up all the family member names for extended family members? Such as uncles, aunts, various ways to say "cousin", grandfathers, grandmothers, etc.  That would be really great if someone could put that on the message board.

Update: Haha, alexyzye beat me to it by a few seconds.  Anyway, my link includes some other banter as well as the pdf.

None of us is pregnant. But since procreation is one of the key themes of human existence, we thought we'd reflect that. Hopefully, there is something worthwhile for learners from each different level.
