The girl in the video has a killer body and a terrific 臀部(thanks for this vocab). I don't care much for yoga or learning about yoga in Chinese but I watched the video a couple times

]]> <![CDATA[By: zhenlijiang]]> 这篇课很有用！谢谢老师们。

It's a nice intro (as was the Tai Chi lesson) to learning to talk about these things. Maybe someday you could get even fitness-nerdier in an Adv lesson--would love to get into inner muscles.

* For 招式 in the Supplementary Vocab, the definition says movement (marital arts, Chinese Opera). 　（＾ｖ＾）

Speaking of yoga, it was all the rage in China 2 years ago. There was a yoga studio next to the veggie market near my home. Now, the hype has died down a bit.

Haha. Maybe that was a freudian slip on my part? Who knows...I am unmarried after all.

I also found this lesson really useful. It's easy to just stumble through physical movement vocab given that you usually can just show the person in real life. At the end of the day though, this kind of thing is really important to natural 'fluency'.

加上，你不会受到像课文里这么详细的指导！

感觉自己坚持不住了，坚持不下去了——这样的丈夫，妻子都不少吧。同时，结婚后才感觉自己很幸福的人也很多。

看了今天的课文对话，我觉得老外在中国学瑜伽语言门槛好像很高啊！

虽然我也是日本人，但初次看你的这个句子没注意到‘门槛很高’指的是我们常说的　敷居が高い shiki-i ga takai （feel unwelcome or otherwise discouraged from "knocking at a gate"; find a door of some establishment open to only a select few excluding yourself）。汉语的这个说法和日语‘敷居が高い’有相同的语感吗？

Having listened to today's lesson dialogue, I get the feeling that foreigners wanting to learn yoga in China might find the language pretty discouraging!

你的句子我吃得透吗？（← ‘吃得透’我是刚才学到的。用得对吗？）
