I think you may find your answer here http://chinesepod.com/lessons/two-iffy-words/discussion

I will reserve my opinion of the changes from the latest news until after they are in place. I only hope that the focus shifts to lessons above ele. Maybe Ken could use his time to do the same thing for German pod as he did here and Clay can continue with the fewer newbie/ele lessons here.

I vote for the lessons to include int, up int and adv every week with ele most weeks and media/newbie split every second week. I agree with the comments above that most users of this site are trying to get to the intermediate level and study the levels above because a: there are not enough intermediate lessons and b: it is still good to challenge beyond your level to really attain your target.

I hope that cantoneasy proves to be successful and can spin off as a separate 5 lesson site in the future leaving the opportunity to explore other dialects in a one lesson a week format. Remember this site is called chinesepod not mandarinpod after all.

I would also like to see a dear change show on cpod!!

Lastly hopefully the time from reducing the lesson output will be used to review and fix the content for all of the old lessons to get them to std. Especially as this would be as good a way of keeping new users as releasing so many newbie lessons.

Thanks Auntie68 I think your first one sounds best and I should remember to use v and also reread the chinese before I post.

I have listened the whole QW now and have a challange from the song, I can't think of a good translation for the concept of "I would give it all", any takers...

我什么都不知道 to me this is the Sergeant Schulz line 'I know nothing'

would 我什么都不喜欢Clay的奴朋友 be "I don't like any of clay's girlfriends" (I am thinking for Amber or Connie to say not me of course)

The famous song John refered to in the lesson can be explored on his blog http://www.sinosplice.com/music/yueliang/ (as usual he does not promote his page in the lesson)

I have one question in the dialog the male actor sounds to me like he pronounces 过敏 like cuomin is this an accent?
