请各位多多指教 is a phrase I've heard before. What exactly does it mean and when is ir appropriate to use it? Isn't it also used when introducing oneself let's say on the first day of work?

Around 4:10 丘 should be "Qiu1", not " Qui1". And I also wanted to ask if 总算 is only for oral use, or if it is used I writing too.

I did not fully understand what the difference between 什么都不做 and 什么也不做 is. Can you explain again?

Is 非常 stronger than 很?

Would people in mainland China more likely say "在哪儿" rather than "在哪里" or "在什么地方"?

What about 道理? Isn't that also reason?

This was so useful and moving. Especially Contance’s explanations are extremely interesting and give insights into Chinese Literature. Please ChinesePod, could you make more of these?

Love your energy, and the little scenes. Are more lessons like these planned?

I personally find the dialogue a little short but that is just my opinion. Also for the level, the vocabulary seems too simple. However, I enjoyed it all the same.

It's great that you cover this type of vocabulary, so we can always learn terms that might come up during more in depth conversations with natives. Looking forward to see the second part.
