HI Everyone!

I would like to suggest if chinesepod could make lessons that are a bit longer in Newbie,without introducing a lot of new vocabulary. Usually the lessons are just 4 sentences. It be nice if you could make some lessons for review that conect each other for maximum review. Thanks!

Another suggestion for All Saints' Day : To avoid the usual Halloween crap, could we have something more reverential for the end of October with some chinese vocab about paying tribute to the deceased ? Here is a nice song of 梁静茹 on this same topic : 崇拜 我还以为我们 不同与别人 我还以为不可能的 不会不可能 你的姿态 你的亲赖 我存在的你的存在 你以为爱 就是被爱 你会活了我的崇拜 所以明白 所以离开 所以不再为爱而爱 自己存在在你之外

你的姿态 你的青睐 我存在在你的存在 你以为爱 就是被爱 你挥霍了我的崇拜 我活了 我爱了 我都不管了 心爱到疯了恨到散了就好了 可能的 可以的 真的可惜了 幸福好不容易怎么你却不敢了呢 我还以为我们能 不同于别人 我还以为不可能的 不会不可能 你的姿态 你的青睐 我存在在你的存在 你以为爱 就是被爱 你挥霍了我的崇拜 风筝有风 海豚有海 我存在在我的存在 所以明白 所以离开 所以不再为爱而爱 自己存在 在你之外

kevin, Newbie lessons are modular, which means you can study them in any order. Further more, every Newbie lesson assumes that the learner knows basically nothing. When you put these two together, it means you can't do long Newbie review lessons. I understand what you want, though, and we are already thinking about ways to address this issue.

Thanks John! ITs kind of hard to explain, I can understabd all of the Newbie real fast, but if I go to Elementary, its a lot more harder for me. Thanks anyway! I have a question, are the Elementary also in no order, or would it be a good idea to do from first to last? THanks John!

I think all lesson, regardless of level, are modular. You pick a topic you are interested in. That's it. It's not textbook-style. Someone suggested using a textbook and supplementing it with Cpod lessons. That's one way to get some continuity if you want some.

Another suggestion to review old lessons off-line. Is it possible to have a printable list of the Cpod lessons with the following information ? ID of the file: 0684 Name of the lesson : Cold Will Kill You Level : Intermediate Published: October 30, 2007 Topics: health
