October 7, 2007 at 10:36 AMI notice that 事 shi4 in the vocab,is a 4th tone but I thought that it was a 2 tone when it means "matter". Does the tone change or am I incorrect? Keith

August 27, 2007 at 6:50 AMI 'd like to ask about in the Expansion section, the sentence "none of us knew". This is something that happened in the past and yet there is no "le " on the end. I expected it to be "Women dou bu zhidao le".

August 23, 2007 at 12:48 PMI like the new home page a lot. It seems easier to use. I would also like to say how useful the "The Fix" is. I can go back to a lesson -just check out the fix and you can tell straight away how much you have retained. Great addition! The other thing that is great is the Grammar guide.

August 20, 2007 at 5:28 AMI listened to The Fix before I did the expansion exercises and thought the sentnce was "Did you buy socks". I was thinking kuzi , gu piao etc.

July 14, 2007 at 6:26 AMIf I want to say "Are you going to take a walk" I can use 你去散步吗? ni qu sanbu ma?but I could also say it like this :- 你要散步了吗? ni yao sanbu le ma? Is this correct?

May 27, 2007 at 7:27 AMThe problem with Pinyin for beginners is that there are so many Chinese words that sound the same. However when I started to learn the characters it is easier to remember the words because the characters are very different. So my experience has been Pinyin was only a limited help , an aid to how the sound may be . If you really want to make progress cut straight to learning the characters. It does take time but gives faster progress later on.

May 26, 2007 at 5:52 AMIn the expansion "the next stop is the train station" uses 下一站 but the previous sentence "There are a lot of people getting on the bus at this stop" uses 这站. I want to use 这个站 here . Why just 这站? Thanks

April 14, 2007 at 6:50 AMThe dialogue mp3 seems to have a bug. It sounds a bit like Pinky and Perky. Too fast.

April 13, 2007 at 4:58 PMIn the expansion exercises why is " really long" 好长( Her hair is really long.) but "really hurts" is 很痛 ( My knee really hurts.)
