Posted on: Using 又 (yòu) and 再 (zài)
June 24, 2007 at 11:48 PMThat was a great little episode - very useful. We can't get enough of these handy hints. It's also a good reminder that I should get back to reading a grammaer book occasionally. The occasional formal study of grammar is just about the only area I feel I really need to do outside of this cosy little website. 我又忘记了。 我应该再看中文语法书。。。。。

June 8, 2007 at 3:14 AMHey there, After listening to this lesson a bunch of times, I think the dialogue is a bit fast. I know at intermediate level we ought to be able to handle a real conversational speed (more or less), but Zhenhua, particularly when he gets defensive, speaks extremely quickly. I can still follow along with the notes, but I find it's slightly too quick for me to develop a memory of what the words sound like when spoken, a side-effect of the cpod lessons that comes in very handy when I go to speak the words myself. Am I the only cry-baby who thought that?

June 7, 2007 at 3:13 AMA good lesson - just the right level. Interesting topic and vocab. I too hope I don't need to use some of the words in the near future... about me or someone else.

June 26, 2007 at 5:43 AM"She's easy?" Cpod's getting a little edgy here. I like it - much better than "which way is the train station, please?" In that vein here are some phrases I'd like to see in forthcoming episodes. "GIve me some sugar, baby." "What are you looking at, punk?" "How much is that crossbow?" "Perhaps a 'donation' might speed things up a little?" "Take my wallet, just don't hurt me." "The wolf came out of nowhere."
