Thank you.

I am not sure if I am hearing it correctly. In the "expansion" section, did she pronounce 玩 as "WAR" instead of "WAN"? 

Thank you.

So， I am playing tennis and I miss a ball (or keep missing it) and I say:　脑子坏了．　Do I have to add 我 in front of it (so it wouldn't seem like I am talking to my opponent)? The same is with other expressions (（我）脑子坏了,（我） 傻冒， （我）没长眼睛 ，。。。）

Thank you!

Posted on: Telling Time in Chinese

They have mentioned that “quarter to” and “quarter after” are uncommon in the language. So why bother? One language cannot be literally translated in an other. Just like if I would say: It is 18:45h, very few people in the U.S.A. would understand me, unless they were from Europe or some other parts of the world. It is uncommon to say it that way in America, so why to teach someone how to say it in English and overwhelm him/her if not necessary and they will almost never use it?

I think the tone on 只 was marked wrong in 8th sentence

I would really appreciate if you move word DOG MEAT from the Supplementary vocabulary. No explanation needed for my request! Thank you!

In the U.S. ground floor is the first floor. One above in the second. In Europe, ground floor is ground floor, one above is the first floor.

Hello, 

There are few things I have noticed:

1. 只 in 1st sentence is marked as 1st tone.

2. In 6th sentence 猫 is translated as a "dragonfly"

3. Audio play back doesn't work (I checked on my lap top, iPod and self phone)
