may I ask how you are formatting your comments such as to include the "onmouseover" pinyin/translation of your characters? are you cutting and pasting from a different editor? (it would be too tedious to manually write the html code, right?).
also, is there a tool I can add to my browser that would help me see the pinyin versions of the characters on any Chinese web page?
thanks.

while reading the latest newsletter and going to the different links (which lead to other links), I ran into pages on spanishpod, and frenchpod where songs and lyrics are introduced as supplemental means of learning those languages.

I hope in the near future we will have a similar feature on chinesepod (even if it may not be the best way to learn a tonal language).

October 30, 2009 at 8:06 PM@John and Jenny, just got to listen to the lesson today (after a zillion comments already), but the impression I got when you two were whispering was that Jenny was letting her Shanghainese accent take over by adding the "ng" sound in 赶紧, and John wanted to make sure the audience got the standard pronunciation instead.
whatever it was, it was cute.

September 24, 2007 at 9:14 PMSo can we say, for the sake of using analogies from English that 的话 can be thought of as a weak equivalent to "let's say"? As in (for example): let's say it rains tomorrow, do we still have a game? 如果明天下雨的话，我们还打球马？ (i.e. say= 话 .. kind of)?
Posted on: Evolving Chinese Terms of Address
October 24, 2011 at 7:34 PMten years ago when I lived in Beijing, everybody used 小姐 (xiao jie) all the time addressing a young woman -- whether to tell someone in the street that they dropped something, asking for directions, or addressing a waitress at a restaurant. Pretty much the same way we use "miss" in English.
