Ni hao.

Maybe you can try to install an input software for tying Chinese characters.

Ellen,

I don't know how to submit a suggestion so I'm writing it to you.  I think there should be a lessons series like pete does poetry only for popular songs.  A lot of culture and slang comes out of popular music, and it would just be more enjoyable to live in China if I understood the music.

Dear Isaac,

Your suggestion is very good. I got the feed back from my manager. Actually we are considering this already. But copyright is a problem. :-S

I have a suggestion for a new lesson.  One that centers around injuries.  I have a separated and bruised shoulder, tennis elbow, and also stretched a tendon in my knee.  It would be good for there to be a series on injuries so one could speak with a doctor about it effectively.
