The Recent Cpod Email

I just wanted to say that I really liked the recent email "Useful Phrases for your Chinese New Year Celebrations!"

I enjoyed getting some Chinese New Year phrases right in my mailbox (with hanzi, pinyin, and definition).  I think this would be great to do with the lesson emails...maybe give a couple of the important vocab. words or a main phrase from the lesson.

It'd be a good teaser to bring us to that lesson...or if nothing else, a bit of vocab. for when we don't have time to go to the site to study the lesson.

Anyway, just thought it was a nice touch.

flibberdie,

Chuffed means pleased or delighted.It's pretty uncommon to hear in Australia [except in British immigrants/tourists],but was very common in the UK where I picked up using this word many years ago as I really like the way they use it there.

谢谢你们,我明白。I actually lived in the UK for two years, but apparently not around any chuffy people (sigh).
