I appreciate hearing Ken explain the way Cpod does the translation: clunky, direct . Jen too explained the transliteration of Aoyunhui as a sort of pseudo-abbreviation. Enjoyed the lesson immensely.

I'm really overwhelmed!  I went through the endless

commentary. Awsome!!

As Jen said, Ken nicely phrased it:  we're to learn

inductively chinese, the Cpod way!

very good indeed! I'm really impressed! the transliteration stuff very informative:  ge1menr (dude), mai4ke4feng1 (microphone), etc.  jenny mentioned the chinese equivalent for microphone: hua4tong3: I find this very expressive: word barrel

short but sweet: the material is very short indeed but the banter  between jenny and ken is relatively very long but very entertaining, I was going to say of topical interest, however ken hits it on the nail, saying it's pragmatic, small talk,etc. I find it very colloquial. great job, well done!
