        <description><![CDATA[<p>Jenny,</p>
<p>&nbsp;I know you are an incredibly well rounded person but I will still be amazed if you have heard about " Who's on first" from Abbott and Costello. Maybe John can explain. Most of the key part of the dialogue could easily be coverted to Chinese. It would be an amusing way to learn, who,what and I don't know..</p>

<p>Your comment made me think of a cute (though a little corny) <a title="Hu is the President of China" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeRjRxYhz6U" target="_blank">video clip</a>. Users behind the Great Bamboo Firewall, you know what you <a title="Smash Censorship!" href="http://www.proxyboxonline.com/">have to do!</a></p>]]></description>

<p><span>You guys are really doing good job, hence keep it up.</span></p>
<p><span>Jenny regarding how to make this more funny yet realistic, I think the easiest option would be to check best practices from Spanishpod.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span>I have been listening to both Chinesepod and Spanishpod (at Newbie and Elementary levels), and though these languages are entirely different and I cannot make a apple to apple comparison. But there are the stuffs which I feel Chinesepod can enhance...</span></p>
<p><span>One of the hosts should appear less intelligent,&nbsp;it&rsquo;s sad but it&rsquo;s true and it makes the show funnier and gives the confident to the listeners that you do not need to be talented to learn a new language. </span></p>
<p><span>In Spanishpod, I have observed that JP does this pretty cleverly, though we all know that he is really good in Spanish and very good linguist. His dumb, not so intelligent cover-up makes the show more entertaining. </span></p>
<p><span>Having said that, I would like reiterate that you both are doing good work, perhaps the best in teaching Chinese language and culture. If you want to make it more entertaining for Newbies (not for Intermediate and above) then the above mentioned suggestion may help.&nbsp;</span></p>
