February 24, 2008 at 2:45 PMI have to concur with Lizz that it is a big leap between the elementary and intermediate levels, and I wish this could be addressed by making an advanced elementary level to help the student "get up to speed."

January 30, 2008 at 2:20 PMGreat lesson, since it is cold here in Washington, DC, but I am wondering about the use of dai4 vs. chuan1. -- both meaning "to wear." For example, wo chuan yi jian da yi, dan shi wo dai shou tao. Is dai4 used for accessories like mao zi he wei jin, whereas chuan used for more essential clothing like ku zi or chen shan? Thanks all!

August 6, 2008 at 3:16 AMI really enjoyed this lesson...however, my wife was a little less taken by my amusement.
that aside, although the lesson explained that the dao1, as in luo2 si1 dao1, means knife, I wondered about the other two characters. seems that lou2
means snail, hence the screw shape. si1 is silk which I have a hard time seeing, but can grasp with respect to a thread on the screw..neat.
great lesson, thanks!
