侬好[noŋ hɔ], hello

But what about greeting a group of people (Hi, y'all for our Texan friends)?

呐好 [na ho], hello (plural)

Challenge of the day: if you're in Shanghai (or a place where there are Shanghainese speakers) try to use the phrases you've learned today! Let us know what the response was!

one thing i realized when listening to this was how cool it would be if the lessons were delivered totally in simple chinese. probably wouldn't be cool for beginners, but might be some incentive for intermediate / advanced learners.

]]> <![CDATA[By: catherinem]]> We thought about doing it that way initially, but decided against it. The reasoning is that we wanted users of all levels to be able to appreciate the differences across dialects/languages in China, and to be able to pick up new phrases and use them right away.

]]> <![CDATA[By: questyn]]> Thanks for listing this new series in the May ChinesePod newsletter! I would have entirely missed it since I rely mainly on the new lesson emails & my RSS feed for new lessons.

I'll be visiting Shanghai this summer & this series will help a lot!  When I lived in Kunming, I took a class on the Kunming dialect & really enjoyed it.  Cab drivers liked hearing it & always got a kick out of a foreigner speaking the local dialect.

That's awesome, though...can you tell us where, Master Krang?
