Interesting lesson - I'm looking forward to trying out this vocabulary during my trip to China this summer!

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

In 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!

Actually I think I just answered my own question... I think this lesson was from before there was a grammar tab!

Where is the grammar tab for this lesson?  Or is there no grammar in particular to point out? :) Just curious.

Question from a user of the iPhone app - where is the audio review? Did this get phased out with the update?

Agree 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.

I 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!
