I also like how you flash the characters first and then the pin yin & pronunciation a second later.

August 26, 2008, 03:30 PMLove it. Haven't checked out the lesson yet but I will. When I lived in China I found older people and people with less education much more willing to speak Chinese with me. Steer clear of the school kids and university students if you're serious about improving your Chinese. Sad but true.

August 17, 2008, 07:25 PMIt is a lonely time moving back to the US and realizing that friends and family do not accept (or understand) 行 xing2, 可以 ke3 yi3, or 差不多 cha4 bu duo1 as legitimate ways to answer questions... not to mention how 不方便 bu4 fang1 bian4 and 贵 gui4 everything is.

July 31, 2008, 03:25 PMHi Ken,
I understood the joke and the point of the lesson, but I think the punchline would still come through with half the screaming. I'm a big fan of Chinesepod but I won't be listening to this one over and over again on the ipod, that's all. --Channa

July 31, 2008, 02:23 PMThe slamming and the woman's pained screams make this dialogue very difficult for me to listen to.
Bad taste, Chinesepod.
