Peony’s pronunciation is quite standard. Nice lesson, thank you.

Well, “弹can be used for every musical instrument playing with hands”. That is not totally true. Because there are many instruments which need to be collocated with ‘拉’, such as ‘拉二胡’ instead of ‘弹二胡’, and also violin ect.

In 9:15, ‘拳’ in ‘太极拳’ does not mean ‘boxing’. It means ‘fist’. Otherwise, this phrase would have been translated as ‘taiji boxing’. and the translation of 'do', i suggest you not using '干', but '做'. because the former word is also used as a swearing word.

Thanks for the lesson.

‘我坐出租车’ can be changed into ‘我打的’. This is shorter and more common.

nice audio. Thanks

Posted on: Street Food

In 1:45, ‘串’ in ‘羊肉串’ should be pronounced as ‘chuan 4’ instead of ‘cuan’ 4 like the girl did in the dialogue.

In 5:41, ‘尽量’ doesn’t necessarily add verbs after it. For instance, ‘尽量快一点/慢一点/早一点/晚一点……’.

‘冰糖葫芦’ can contain a lot of things inside, instead of ‘山楂’. Sometimes they put apples and strawberries etc..

In 2:10, the female in the teaching dialogue pronounced ‘保’ in ‘宫保鸡丁’ as ‘bao 4’ instead of ‘bao 2’.

Posted on: Finding a Cheap Hostel

‘我想找便宜的旅馆’, doesn’t really help you to find cheap hotel. In a more practical way, telling someone you want to find a cheap hotel is sometime useless.
