Two technical questions:

1) How can I access my bookmarked lessons directly after signing in?

2) Is it possible to have the translation of the dialogue and the expansion hidden as a default setting?

Thank you!

I read somewhere that Chinese people are losing the ability to write characters because typing is so widespread. How true is that?

And if those who still write use cursive, how do we, poor learners, deal with it? Where can we find some basics of cursive? In a future ChinesePod lesson perhaps?

Jenny, 

You are a great teacher. What are you doing pandering to the new religion in China (Business)?

I don't care about Mr. Constanty's get-rich ventures.

What does this have to do with studying Chinese?

Best regards,

Jacques

In the expansion:

如果1500块三张飞机票的话...

Why add 的话 when there is already 如果, which means the same thing?

Thanks.

In the expansion:

你的预订申请已确认，直接入住就行了。

1) The audio says ji4 lu4 instead of que4 ren4 (already pointed out above by fp00n (but not addressed); and shouldn't it be 确认了？

2) Why is 入 住 translated by "go to your room"?

Thanks.

明 白 了！ 谢 谢 你, Connie.

In the dialogue: 你肯定又是去买单。

Why 又 and not 再 ?

Thanks.

So what is the difference between "treating" and "paying the bill" (in expansion)???
