December 21, 2012 at 5:00 AMI can't get this lesson (or the previous ones) down to my Android phone.
Can someone from CP please comment on when this is going to be fixed? Thanks.

December 16, 2012 at 2:08 AMGood stuff. I would never have figured out these differences by myself.
But -- it sounds like most of the time Connie and Vera are saying "jīng yè" instead of "jing yàn".

December 14, 2012 at 5:35 AMTiny typo in the English translation of this dialog sentence. "sent" should be "send".
你在哪个网点?我们派工作人员去看看。

December 9, 2012 at 6:08 AMThere's a restaurant that I like in downtown Seattle with a bilingual English/Chinese menu. I was curious to see how they translated "broccoli", and the answer is... There only two dishes on the menu that contain broccoli, and those two are also the only two dishes without a Chinese name.

December 9, 2012 at 6:01 AMThanks. I'm usually a couple of weeks behind. I think it has in fact been better.

December 9, 2012 at 5:58 AMGood point. The presentation is what has recently changed. It used to be a printer icon, closer to the middle. Now it is a "Print this page" button on the right.

December 9, 2012 at 5:54 AMThe first grammar sentence is hard to understand.
(If he keeps playing around like this, he'll play himself right out of a future!)
1. Why is there a "ràng"?
2. What would be the context for such a sentence? Are we talking about a football player, or a job situation, or someone cheating on his girlfrined, or...?
