Lunetta, I'm thrilled to hear that my little post on the subject inspired you to take a stab at this with me! Yay! And John, you guys did a GREAT job making this lesson more accessible than previous Intermediate lessons. I'll definitely keep tuning in. I have to say that my favorite part of the episode was explaining the difference between 死 and 死掉, and how the latter was "more final." As opposed to... say... the temporary death which wears off after a few days? LOL "No, no... this one will kill you MORE." Hehe.

"Chipmunks die quickly in the desert" sounds remarkably like a secret agent code phrase.

I always think it's a little funny when people buy bottled water and then pour it over non-purified ice. That's like throwing the airbag off the building after the stuntman has hit the ground. :-D

I've got nothing useful to add here, I just wanted to note the fact that this is my first foray into an Intermediate lesson and there were no casualties. That is all. As you were. :-D

小姐 can also mean prostitute?! That's a new one! I would imagine that tone (attitude) matters there, right?

How about if I just need a few couches to crash on for a week or so? :-)

There's no substitute for having to speak Chinese every day to drive home high-frequency vocabulary. The time I spent with Aggie on the Practice Plan remains some of my favorite and most-challenging time here. I'll do it again as soon as I can find the time and funds!
