I have a suggestion for you computer people.  I downloaded the Chinesepod app for my Droid (cell phone).  I like it but it sends me random lessons.  It would be really helpful and add value to your service if the app would automatically load the lessons you assign me down to my phone.

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.

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

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.
