May 23, 2008 at 5:41 AMHi murphmarc22, For basic and premium subscribers, you download the 128kbps Podcast MP3, and the PDF transcription is embedded in there. To get it to show up on your iPod, you click the middle button 2 or 3 times till it flips around to where you see it!

May 21, 2008 at 5:23 AMhi joannah, The tone of 太...了(tài... le) is an excited one, like "so great!" The level of emphasis goes like this: 这本书很有用。 Zhè běn shū hěn yǒuyòng. This book is very useful. 这本书非常有用。 Zhè běn shū fēicháng yǒuyòng. This book is extremely useful. 这本书太有用了。 Zhè běn shū tài yǒuyòng le. This book is so useful!!!
