July 25, 2011, 03:50 PMActually, I meant I've heard Chinese people using it amongst each other. :) It was one of the first phrases I learned hanging out with my employer and her friends (they all only speak Mandarin amongst each other). They routinely greeted each other with ni hao ma. (Sorry my reply is so slow, I didn't realize you'd been kind enough to respond to my comment)

July 18, 2011, 10:30 PMI find that Skritter helps me a great deal even without a tablet. But I don't JUST use Skritter. First I write the characters on a piece of paper, THEN I input them in Skritter, then I finish by writing them again on paper. Skritter helps me more with remembering tones and pinyin but it also helps to reinforce character recognition.

October 08, 2010, 06:31 PMIn this lesson says Chinese don't say Nihao ma? But I've heard this term several times... although I got the impression it wasn't being used as a question and it wasn't answered. :)

August 12, 2011, 08:25 PMI miss Jenny too. :( Dilu and John are quite good too though. It's just when you get used to certain voices it feels strange to have new ones. I bet in a year or two we'll miss Dilu and John just as much if they leave. :)
