October 12, 2009 at 7:20 PMgreat lesson, thanks chinese pod. I did have a few questions I wanted to ask you guys...
1) Could you tell me whats the use of 下in '我去给你下碗面条'?
2) What does 真他妈 actually mean? I couldnt find it in my dictionary? Is it more just spoken chinese? When do you usually use it?
3) When they say '连口热水也没有' , is this a metaphore for no hot water in general (e.g. for baths or showers) or is it specifically that there isn't any hot water to drink?

October 1, 2009 at 8:55 PM谢谢给我们这个新的课， 我就是想说，我想了今天的课程有点听不清因为背景的声特别高。希望下个课程可以有背景的声低一点。 谢谢chinesepod, keep up the great work, phil

September 14, 2009 at 5:39 PM啊， 而且我也要说呢，多快在我的人类学我们很少得学那种（进化的东西）。 我很感谢呢因为我觉得那种比较难懂一点， 哈哈。 我们学呢就是广义的改变还有别国家的生命情况， 常常学关于非洲和东南亚洲的情况。我一直希望我们会学习中国不过这些年一个关于中国的课也没有。 真可惜！！！

September 14, 2009 at 5:32 PM谢谢大家中文播客， 很有意思得话题。 对我来说这是一个特别使用得播客因为我正在在英国第三年中学习人类学呢。我得丢在英国更一年，那我毕业以后才能搬到中国。 真可惜我得等了那么久，现在我等不及呢， 不过我打算用这个时候改善自己的中文能力。 我实在信不了这个网站已经开四年多了。 祝贺中文播客。 坚持你特别好的工作。 谢谢大家！

Posted on: Antiperspirant in China
September 13, 2009 at 9:01 AMHey, thanks for all these lessons, they may seem meaningless to some, but in actual fact when you actually go to china they will really be useful. I wanted to ask one question, what exactly is the difference between deodorant (香体剂）and antiperspirant (止汗剂） other than antiperspirant supposedly stops sweating? I am in england and use antiperspirant deodorant, which is a liquid roll-on, so if i was in china wanting to buy a roll-on liquid antiperspirant deorant would i ask for xiangtiji or zhihanji? is xiangtiji just like non antiperspirant lynx or something (for example a perfume sort of smell which you spray on your body)?
thanks, phil

August 30, 2009 at 1:50 PMhello, very happy with all of chinesepod's services. I just wanted to ask is 清楚 a verb as well as an adjective or just an adjective, for example in the sentence in the expansion ''我清楚多了''. Also I just wanted to make a request, is there any chance perhaps future lessons could include the words adj/v/n/adv (adjective/verb/noun/adverb) like in the vocab section or something? That wold be so helpful. I keep ending up using words in the wrong setting, for example treating them as verbs when they are adjectives, etc etc. Hope that's not too much to ask. Thanks again for all the services. :)
