September 10, 2011 at 11:38 PMWhy is huì translated as meeting in the pop-up box in the 5th set of 3 expansion exercises? It seems to have no relevance to the translations in the exercises themselves.

September 10, 2011 at 11:33 PMI see now all messages have been moved into the future by saying they were sent more recently. Fascinating stuff there at Chinesepod!

September 10, 2011 at 11:30 PMWell, now I see the 1st 8 min. has been reduced to 6 min. What next? I'll have to keep watching.

September 10, 2011 at 11:29 PMI see now every message is 8 min. ago. Oh well, back to pǔtōnghuà.

September 10, 2011 at 11:27 PMAlso, your clock is mistaken. I didn't send the previous message by anywhere near 8 min. ago. It was more like 2 or 3.

September 10, 2011 at 11:26 PMJust a minor point, Jenny, but 4th is spelled fourth as 4 is four.

September 10, 2011 at 7:06 PMIn the 6th expansion sentence I see no indication about "having to" work overtime. Sure it may happen with 'tech' people, but is this the way people think generally about technological work in China? Also, in the next sentence I take it that 'qi3lai' refers back to 'hao3' as well as 'yan2zhong4'. Please let me know if I'm reading this incorrectly.

September 10, 2011 at 5:50 PMEarly in the podcast when John & Jenny are discussing how one says "on the way to a place", Jenny says "biru nǐ ..?.. shuō" but I don't get it all. Could someone please tell me what's between nǐ & shuō? Xièxe.

September 11, 2011 at 2:44 PMThank you very much. It's nice to have someone relate positively to me on this day of all days. Yes, I thought that was the wrong meaning assigned to huì. I've noticed the same thing in some other pop-up boxes but never so many in one area as here. Of course, I've left messages about them in the comments but they seldom get fixed. Not so important for students at the Intermediate level as here, but I sympathize with struggling Newbies that run into it. Best of luck to you in the future.
