January 10, 2012 at 2:06 AMHee hee - this podcast reminds me of a story I heard from a friend. His wife was sitting outside their home one day and this couple walked past with their son. He was maybe 12 years old. They made him go ask to practice English with her. The problem was his pronunciation was so terrible that she couldn't understand him. So he walked back to his parents and instead told them she was Swedish and didn't speak English. :D

December 10, 2011 at 5:10 AMDoes Chinese have any phrases for people who really like to be in the water? In English we would say "He took to water like a fish." for someone who really likes to swim or is really good at swimming.
