How does commenting on the quality of this  lesson  not PERTAIN to the the topic in your eyes Clay? My point that Jenny said herself that she only works "part time" here and cares more about her high-end jazz (seriously, wtf lol) has everything to do with why the teaching quality sucks more than usual.

My favorite Jenny quote from that article is:

"I'm only part-time at ChinesePod and spend the three other days of the week at Soulfire Radio. It's a high-end jazz and lifestyle show. Half talk, half music. Two hosts talking about the finer things in life."

Oh really shalmaneser ? So i guess the board ought to be used only for praise or for the most politically correct mahogany inserted into the rectum level comments that one might deem proper in polite society?

rjberki, I hear what you're saying and I have definitely not outrgrown C-Pod. I have a 6 month subscription that I intend to use.  One thing I have outgrown is my ability to tolerate lessons that are substandard. There is so much unused potential here. I can understand that the average new person might come to the site and say "wow this is so cool!" but for someone who has been here for a long time it's not so cool seeing the same problems over and over again.When is the last time you've seeen an advanced lesson with so many comments at such an early stage? Does it really only take outrage to generate interest? Compare the comments on any advanced lesson to any lower level lesson and you will see what I mean. And if you think that's because most users are low-level then you're kidding yourself. These higher lessons usually go unnoticed comment-wise because they are too boring or inaccesible  for even the lower level people to bother putting the effort into trying. That being said, I'm sure I'll get tons of people calling my comments BS telling me how wrong I am but honestly, I know there are people out there that  agree with me.

Yes, one would not want to express his opinion in a manner that might offend those who may have a different opinion. Let us all go to jolly old England and have a crusty old tea party, shall we?

user33162, I found it very hard not to respond to your post directly. I  made a promise not to turn this into a personal issue but it's hard to resist a personal attack, especially one which had so much thought put into it.You would make a great sleezeball lawyer if you aren't one already--your cold and indirect style is fantastic. That being said, you added nothing to the defense of the advanced lessons.You did absolutely nothing in your essay about me to address the simple problems about the advanced lessons that have been pervasive for months on end. You did do the best job trying to bash me personally though,so I'll give you the gold medal for taking the most amout of useless space.

Christy,

I did have the decency to make sure I understood everything that was said during the dialogue and the explanations before I posted my complaints. Thanks for coming out though; see you next season.

Clay,

not using a little bit of English is the least of the problems at the advanced level. I can handle the "no English because everyone else says it's bad" reasoning. It's the massive levels of sucking (i.e. where is my teacher?)  that I have a problem with. Excuse my grammar and 'made up words' because I wrote that while in a big green frenzy.

I find it very interesting that people are attacking me on a personal level but nobody is making an intelligent comment disagreeing with what I'm saying about the lesson itself. I was bitching about the lesson and the teaching style and I'm trying not to make this personal with anyone. As for newbie888, I'm pretty sure I made my point clear about what's wrong and what can be fixed. I don't claim to be "such a professional teacher." I only claim to be someone who can point something out when it's smacking me in the face with a frying pan.
