I know...silly NBC.  I can't believe they're not showing the opening ceremony live.  So much for getting up early!  Patience is a virtue...I guess.

Fun little lesson!  I'm sure all of China is buzzing right about now...

ewwww light, I think you said something like "You like my Chinese daughter."  :)

Did you want to say "I like petite Chinese women"?

I think that would be...
我喜欢小中国妇女。
wǒ xǐhuan xiǎo zhōngguó fùnǚ.

I'm just assuming you don't have a Chinese daughter!

Great job CPod!  It sounds like a clip from a real movie.

It's creative lessons like this that display the real beauty of ChinesePod.

I know that 了 le has been beaten to death, but I'm wondering about the following expansion sentence:

他走了。
tā zǒu le。
He left.

How do you know if it the meaning is "He left." or "He is leaving."?

Just listened to this to get a taste of Clay doing a lesson.  I must say I was very impressed...sad we won't hear more lessons with Clay.

I'll be cheering on Zheng Jie to win the gold next month.  It'd be great to see her win it on her own soil.  加油!
