Another one for the supplementary vocabulary:

男女老少    nán nǚ lǎo shào    men, women, young and old / all kinds of people / people of all ages / each and everyone

Actually I would like to add that I very much liked the podcast.  I found it informative both culturally and linguistically, and was particularly impressed by the relatively rich content.

Do Chinesepod intend to post the Chinese phrases that are dealt with in the lesson?

Actually 动静 is an interesting construction " move - not move ". What does it mean?

Good question. When I listened to the lesson I got the impression that next door were noisy neighbors, but perhaps that is wrong. Please can someone give guidance?

I see that the translation is still incorrect and has not been fixed

Low quality mistake in vocab section.  假 is said to be jia3 when meaning vacation, when third tone it means fake.  It should be 4th tone here.

麻烦。

Using internet explorer on the exercises page does not draw the line joining the buttons.  Firefox now crashes on Chinesepod sites - I don't know why.

Do I really have to use Chrome?

A nice relaxed presentation by Greg and Dily, but are these things real?

How does a round robot clean in the corners - or have they not thought of that?
