July 31, 2008, 03:38 PM posted in General DiscussionDid I miss it? Did Cpod change its mind? Clay announced it a couple weeks ago but I still can't find it. I loved him on the elementary lesson he did a few days ago and I think he would make a great host!

August 13, 2008, 03:57 PMI don't know if I am up to the challenge of learning another language at this point. I know Latin and Chinese and as different as they are, I still have to force myself to keep them straight (only rarely, now). Imagine how much trouble I would have keeping straight two similar languages, of the same mother language (sino-tibetan) no less. I need to become fluent in one language at a time I think. I have infinite respect for anybody who can learn more than one language at once and keep them straight 100% of the time.

Et tu brute? (Now they have lost even you?).
Aren't you the guy that reminded me of John's promise?
Have you joined the "negative lot" that heretofore received only disdain from you?
Truth be told, I am hoping it goes forward somehow, I would like very much to have a few bite sized chuncks of Cantonese to chew on. I think you would too.

I actually have the first set of Pimsleur Cantonese DVD's. They are pretty good as far as "tapes" go, but nothing rises to the CPOD level. It was enough to satisfy my curiosity though. I love the sound of Cantonese. I also have an entire season of a HK TV show called the young and dangerous - also interesting even if it is a few years old. The best was a short video Bazza sent me of Shu Qi speaking Cantonese in one of her movies.
