Posted on: The Many Ways to 'But' In
October 23, 2012 at 4:10 PMThat was a really fun lesson. I was laughing as much as you guys were. John. You've been cracking me up for years. And Jenny and Connie... hilarious.

March 23, 2012 at 1:46 AMPersonally, I listen to the review track before I listen to the lesson, to get me primed for the vocabulary that will be used, that way I can focus on the way it's used, rather than trying so hard to follow the words.

April 30, 2010 at 7:08 AMToo bad we didn't get this question answered, but I just asked my Chinese teacher friend and she says that is correct. 你写的不对， would thus be, What you wrote is wrong.
"Hey, kid, I suggest you forget what you saw." 嘿， 小朋友， 我建议你忘记你看到的。

November 20, 2008 at 1:13 PMMy 2 cents. I taught English in Russia, Turkey, Egypt and China. I taught Russian and Arabic in America. If I am eventually fluent in Chinese, it will be my 7th foreign language. I have 2 University language degrees and have been through many programs during my language progression. Chinesepod, Ken and Jenny are top notch teachers with an extremely effective language building blueprint. I have been bored by other programs before, and I moved on. If this isn't your style, then find something that is. To belittle this program is along the lines of telling a kinesthetic learner that they should use an auditory program simply because you don't like it. Short of puting you in a virtual hands on world, C-pod has done an amazing job of facilitating the abilities of all types of learners. If only they had been around when I learned my first language... things would have been a lot quicker and easier.

September 13, 2008 at 9:49 PMI came back to this thread to display how I've achieved the answers to my own question to find your comment. Thanks Amber. I was basically told the yuanwang is something you hold inside and think about, while the verb with an outward expression such as tossing a coin is as you said "xuyuan".
