August 02, 2008, 09:14 AMWith reference to the spitting, do you mean people do not like to swallow saliva (in which case you would need to spit every few seconds) or do you mean people do not like to swallow phlegm? thanks.
Posted on: MSN and QQ
June 13, 2008, 04:34 PMI used QQ from the UK for a while quite happily, but then something Tencent shaped ate my PC. I have not dared downlaod the software since then. I now use a link sent by one of my Chinese friends. I can access my page others through this link. No download required. I use Google talk to talk to China every week, it's free and always clear and reliable.
Posted on: Tai Chi
February 05, 2008, 04:56 PMI'm elly level but as a Taiji player I was drawn to this lesson. my laoshi (from Beijing) pronounces 太极 asTaiji but westeners usually say Tai chi. The name seems to have bcome misspelt from the old system t'ai chi. Not that it matters all that much but I'm now feeling confused as to how to refer to taiji in the west. Should I carry on saying taichi so I am understood?

December 10, 2007, 10:30 AMPoor Li Yan. What will she do when she finds out that Yang Jie likes Wang Wei? I feel there may be some hair pulling in the near future.

November 13, 2007, 10:40 AMThese lessons are great. They help get new vocabulary into my 小的脑xiao3 de nao3. Wang Wei needs to open his eyes. I hope Li Yan finds someone new...maybe Yang Jie's ex boyfriend ; )

August 08, 2008, 09:29 PMI watched the opening ceremony on the big screen live in Derby (UK) and managed to practise my Elly level zhongwen with some of the crowd of Chinese who had gathered. I even made a new Chinese friend, so thank you Chinese pod for all the lessons so far.
