Wow, I don't agree... it makes the beauty of a language when you have all these different levels... reading and speaking is never the same in any language... and learning a language includes figuring out all those variations and colors... I love French for that... so many levels between slang, familiar, written, litterary, etc... it's part of the fun and that's what makes the forever difference between a native speaker and a learner: grasping those differences in tone, the appropriate time to use a word, the proper choice in context... that's why a learner never equals a native speaker... but I have to say that English is probably one of the easiest to learn because it has very few levels in tone... so it makes it hard for a native English speaker to grasp that concept when learning another language.

Cheers! And be happy!!! You are adding to your culture!

the first nian is widely used... even in traditionnal they use a few of the simplified characters... take for example 台湾... they rarely ever use the real 台... 臺... even over there... i read traditionnal all the time and have hardly ever seen any book use the nian with a kou radical... but it makes sense since it means to read out loud...

actually, sorry to contradict you but if you look well you will see that you can choose 2 x 10 mins or 2 x 20 mins.... therefore my question cuz all the other plans are cheaper then twice the regular one... otherwise whats the benefit...
