Now while this may have been touched on elsewhere, I thought it would be good to have a thread dedicated to Crazy/Zany CPod lessons. There have been some real gems amongst these. So the purpose of the thread is twofold, namely firstly to gather a list of those really out there lessons, and secondly to have some suggestions for future Crazy lessons. Of course we still need the practical everyday language/ scenario lessons, but having these crazy ones once in a while is so fun.

From the past, one of my alltime favourites:

Now that i've looked at the dialogue, i'm not sure what to make of this lesson, other than it's deliciously creative way to talk about all five fingers in Chinese. It seems lessons like this that involve words that haven't been used before in a lesson are fewer and fewer these days.

"looked at the dialogue"

...this is one of those ones where the execution is so much better than the script alone. Have a listen mate. :)

I think I'd give a shout out to this lesson.  Not crazy/zany.  More like quirky and unusual topic.

在未来,要不一届课程有动物聊天【说话】。。比如熊猫对龙说什么,龙回复什么,等等

那可能徐洲是熊猫的演员,潘吉是龙的演员,还有需要程康艺。。很小很可爱的兔演员。。。姑娘遇险的兔。。。坏龙要吃这个兔。。。熊猫得保护她。。。

“你坏龙,离开,我只是一只小兔,别吃我”
