Great lesson!

I find using ChinesePod on the computer really easy as I can make the text any size I want to.

I also use the iPod app and love it except for one factor, the small size of the characters on the screen. There is lots of spare room on the screen but the characters are so small I can barely distinguish the lines in the characters, and that only with a lot of effort. My problem is not with my eyesight. I can see most things quite clearly with my glasses on. This is just a matter of font size.

I would prefer to use the iPod app all the time, but the small font makes it very difficult for me, and, I would think for many other users also. 

Is there some way the font size can be increased?

Thanks for trying. You must be correct. I can hear it all now.

Does the fact that I live in Ethiopia explain this sort of thing? I think so!

The lesson stops at 07:01. Is this a problem with Chinese Pod?

Once is enough! We can hear it again by downloading the dialogue file.

We can also see the translation if we want to, so I don't see the need for playing the translation three times either.

A very helpful lesson!

Australians moved to the metric system of measurement about 40 years ago. We changed our currency to metric in 1966.
