Come to Hungary and taste our "palinka" :) especially honey-peach palinka which is sweet and strong

It is commonly made from the fermentation of plums, but other fruits used include apricots, apples, pears, peaches and cherries

The traditional double distillation process results in a strong alcohol content of 40 to 70 percent

It is the same at the Exercises section too..

One of the dictation sentence sounds as:

nǐ zài shì yīcì ma? － 你再试一次吗？

but the correct answer set as: nǐ xiǎng zài shì yīcì ma?－ 你想再试一次吗？

CPod Team, Please correct these items

I feel I will be lost in the jungle of the dialects of China when I will make a visit there... But I hope my putonghua will be strong enough to understand each others :)

The number nine is considered to be the luckiest number because all odd numbers are considered heavenly and nine is the highest single digit odd number; and the Chinese word for nine (jui) sounds like the Chinese word for "long" as in longevity or long life.

Is it true that The Forbidden City has 999 houses?
