Posted on: The Third Tone
February 04, 2008, 02:18 AMThanks for the series of lessons on tones. They've been really helpful. And, John, thanks for pointing out the previous lesson on two third tones. I've never understood how that works--until working through that lesson. Thanks!

Posted on: Getting Water Delivered
January 04, 2008, 11:48 PMThanks for a practical lesson with so many useful language chunks (or Leggos...love the analogy!). I've been using Chinesepod for a couple of weeks now, and it is really helping me make progress. I've always hauled my own water up to my room. Now I will have try to order next time I'm staying in China for a while. In one Nanjing neighborhood I walked through while teaching there, people were getting their hot water from a common tap on the lane. Penang, I see from your bio that you practice taiji. I practice taiji also. Anyone else?
Posted on: When 比较 (bǐjiào) becomes 更 (gèng)
November 09, 2008, 04:59 PMI've found the Qing Wen lessons very helpful! The level has been perfect for me, but I can see how it may be too elementary for many subscribers, so the idea of levels is probably a good one.
One other thing I'd love to see is the model sentences in pinyin--again, for those of us in the elementary stage.
Thanks for all the planning and expertise going into ChinesePod!
