I really love the teacher's voice (number D)... 沈老师

I can't remember hearing her before... please put her on again.

Many Matthews are called 马辉 which works as a last name and first name together. It's simple and works.

I realize there are no lesson with the word 批改 or "grade" or "mark"... maybe a good new topic.

Although I subscribe to the BST lessons and receive the email advizing me about the new lesson, I do not see it added automatically on my dashboard.

Wow I can't believe that they didn't let us know about such a wonderful news!!! We love you and miss you but you should really enjoy a long maternity leave and spend time with your baby. We love Dilu too, getting used to her... although you & John still stays my favorite duo ever.

Has Jenny ever talked about her family/personnal life?? I mean John talks about his wife once in a while, so did Ken... but I don't think I've ever heard the Chinese girls do that... same for Connie...

I am so surprised to learn that she was pregnant... well kept secret!!

Makes me think of the ocean in our minds, the countless discoveries you can find in its dark bottom if you plunge deep enough... it is limitless and vast, most of it forever will stay hidden... what a beautiful and poetic picture.

Interestingly enough, after learning about all the 唐人街 all over our Western World, we found out that many cities in China have the exact opposites: a 洋人街 - a foreigner/westerner town... or a street where the foreign tourist like to go to shop...
