March 03, 2014, 06:21 PMIn the dialogue section, the mouse-over function which shows the pinyin and English doesn't seem to be working right now (in this and other lessons).
Maybe this has to do with the website update? Otherwise I think the site redesign looks great!
Also, I like this lesson topic - very interesting! Glad the folks in this lesson have reasonable expectations when it comes to a dowry... I can only imagine that others might not be so reasonable!

February 10, 2014, 07:30 PMWhere is the grammar tab for this lesson? Or is there no grammar in particular to point out? :) Just curious.

December 02, 2013, 08:42 PMAgree with the previous comments - I really enjoy these sorts of "socially conscious" lessons, as I think they're very imporatant.
I was curious about the intent behind the guy's last comment in the dialogue - "所以你就来中国了？“ / "So that's why you came to China?"
Is he implying that she came to China to escape lazy people in countries with generous welfare systems?
Lol, I thought that ending was a little random, but maybe I am missing something.

October 31, 2013, 03:49 AMI love these cultural lessons that spark interesting conversations between my teacher and I. I commented that Americans are obsessed with their teeth, and she responded that Chinese are obsessed with their skin... So true! Chinese women want flawless skin and even see natural variances, such as freckles, as flaws. Whereas I, as an American, enjoy the little freckles I get in the summer and don't consider them an "issue" to be battled!

Question on the translation on the Dialouge tab - doesn't 耐克mean Nike? It's translated as "Mike's."
