July 30, 2008 at 12:15 PMThanks, Amber, for both tips. Jasmintv, in the bottom right hand portion of your screen or under "View" in the upper left is a zoom tool. I use it all of the time here to read characters.

July 30, 2008 at 3:15 AMI love you guys.
I think this lesson will go down in Chinesepod.com history as the most simple. I am still laughing. But, as always, I cannot wait for your next one.
In the expansion, I think the term 看看 is used quite often and would be useful to bring up. Those who do not have a paid membership I think are missing out on a very reasonably priced way to learn Chinese because the lookup, expansion and vocab portions are very good.
Please correct me if I am wrong but the only time I hear 幺 used is with phone numbers.

July 27, 2008 at 4:06 AMThe packages of fāngbiànmiàn seem to have similar characters on the front. Can someone tell me what the labels in the picture say? I seem to see those brands often. Thanks

July 24, 2008 at 1:33 AMNice lesson. In the supplementary vocab., wouldn't you say 拜访 instead of "see" a friend. I know the literal translation but do you say "see" or "kan" like you do in English?
Similarly, is 他来了 the normal way to say "he is here"? i am sure this is basic but I am still a Newbie!

July 19, 2008 at 2:16 AMGuys shop, cook, do the dishes in Shanghai? Oh, no! This was a very interesting lesson. It was good how you and Clay addressed how Westerners do care for their parents.
Irene was very cute, really adorable. Thanks, Amber!
