May 26, 2015 at 5:25 AMChinesePod, to me you are certainly the best resource for learning mandarin there is! The size of the characters on the dialogue page is now nice and big. Would it be possible to get away from the little bubbles on the app dialogue for tablets and to make the characters big and clear on the app also?

May 17, 2015 at 9:02 AMYes, thanks for the very useful explanations. By the way, changing the spelling to the correct spelling 'brakes' instead of 'breaks' in the dialogue tab translation and in the text version would be nice!

April 29, 2015 at 4:30 AMThanks for another helpful and interesting lesson.
I have found a small error in the text version of the lesson. Perhaps this is an alternate pronunciation, but I don't think it is pronounced like this in the vocabulary review.

March 3, 2015 at 12:12 PMI may have missed this, but due to our very slow and unreliable internet connection, I want to download the video episodes so I can watch them without big gaps all over the place.
Is this possible?

By the way, the sound file seems much clearer now. Thanks.

January 26, 2015 at 6:05 AMThe 'dialogue' sentence-by-sentence version has the sounds for the following characters '又腰' in reverse order in the sound file.
The main dialogue file has them in the same order as in the written text.

January 26, 2015 at 6:00 AMThe name of the person who helps people with foot problems in Australia is 'podiatrist'. 'Pedorthist' seems to describe a person who devises orthotics to stabilise the feet into correct position. A podiatrist's work is much more diverse than this.
As the Chinese characters used mean 'foot study', I think that the word 'podiatrist' the better translation into English.

January 21, 2015 at 3:07 PMGreat lesson!
There does seem to be a little problem with the sound quality of the dialogue. The sound just doesn't seem to be as clear as in earlier CP lessons.

January 20, 2015 at 4:33 PMThanks! This method certainly works but in practice, it is rather awkward to use.
