    <description><![CDATA[Liliana figured out a way to sneak a Shakira topic into this week's Qing Wen, but John and Connie whole-heartedly embrace the grammatical question of not only "whatever, wherever," but also "whoever," "whenever," "whichever," and "however."  Be sure to listen into today's lesson to learn how to use this surprisingly accessible Mandarin Chinese.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I think QingWen has been quite basic of late (though I understand the need to run through basic patters)</p>
<p>any chance of throwing us higher-level users an episode? I like the ones where you differentiate between some near-synonyms.</p>
<p>Cheers!</p>]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>There is a small clique that comes to the comment section after all lessons, elementary included, who just start banging out sentences in Chinese characters.  It was once suggested that pinyin would be used to supplement these sentences and even management agreed and staff started to type in pinyin and in characters for elementary and intermdiate clients who aren't s cool as Xiao Phil.  Trust me, there are many nerds among us.</p>]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi mudphud and quasifrog, there's no need to be intimidated; we all come here as learners, even those of us who come across like wanna-be teachers (* edit--agh! just realized that might sound like I mean Xiaophil, which I positively do not. I meant like myself. *) at times. We aren't banging out sentences in Chinese, we want to practice using what we've learned and are trying our best to communicate within our limited abilities. I think the people who wrote pinyin- and translation-less comments here did so because this QW is labeled Intermediate in difficulty, and therefore they assumed the same rules apply, as if this were an Intermediate or above level lesson. Perhaps the expectations need to be clarified again, regarding the Qing Wens. I'm never quite sure myself.</p>]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>呵呵，我同意。其实，我以前感到有点儿惊讶没有人给我这类留言。我第一自己回答是纠正我打错了。我第二回答看起来另外自己回答，可是只有是一个留言关于老师的解释在课程而我不要开始另外的thread.</p>]]></description>
