I don't think the scene in China took place in China.

我上个星期学考虑这个词！我有一个同事要离开公司了。我的老板要求他考虑一下，希望他不离开。而且， 公司的CEO跟我这个同事谈话， 所以我另外个同事说这是个皇上召见的事情。:) Jenny, the US dollar is losing its value. Ask to be paid in RMB or Euros if you're ever offered a job to teach Chinese in the U.S. ;-) One more thing, Jenny and John, 你们的中文播客的学生都喜欢你们。

Amber, I grew up saying 脚踏车 in Hokkien/Minnan and therefore learned to say the same in Mandarin. It was only three years ago that I learned how to say 自行车 after taking a Mandarin language class。 Art

“以后，我要对他好一点“。。。She's a bad girl. I'm with Ken. She's reprehensible. How about treating the boy well from now on, instead of a little better?

For all I know, that blonde Chinese woman now has purple hair! ;-) Amber, you keep looking younger and younger every time you post a new picture. You need to share your secrets to healthy living so that some of us can start to look younger too. :) Art

Jenny, I had read somewhere that Yao Ming is a bit hard of hearing in one ear. An NBA referee had thought that Yao Ming deliberately ignored him until he learned about Yao Ming's hearing problem. So next time, make sure you're standing on the side of Yao Ming's good ear and tell him that he is really tall! :) Art

I learned about 对's usage four years ago after hearing my Chinese friends use it a lot. Initially, I couldn't figure out why the word correct was used constantly for answering a yes/no question, but over time I learned to say 对 to almost every yes/no question.
