henning,
I'll have to give it a try at some point, although last I looked all the instructions were in Chinese... above my level sadly.

May 27, 2008 at 2:14 PMI have been listening to old lessons and I was having problems looking up words using pinyin having only heard Jenny's pronunciation, always due to n and ng problems. Now I know why! Now the question is, after talking to somebody from 上海, is there anyway to look up words in a dictionary without trying both versions (-n and -ng)? I love these lessons, very enlightening!

May 13, 2008 at 2:55 PMI would love it if the exercises used different sentences than in the expansion. Of course I know the answers... I just read them! 100% every time. It would be better for learning if they were different sentences, so I'd have to think. Thanks though, 我很喜欢cpod.

May 13, 2008 at 2:35 PMI had a professor once who tacked "eh" onto the end of each and every sentence. It was enough to drive us non-Canadians mad!
Posted on: I forgot your name
May 12, 2008 at 6:00 PMFor those reading through this conversation late like me, there is a language bar pinyin tone mark IME for windows users. Check it out at http://www.chinese-forums.com/showthread.php?t=13005. All you have to do is switch to the ime and type the pinyin followed by the number and it automatically fixes what you just wrote. It's awesome!
Posted on: Chinese Green Eggs and Ham
May 30, 2008 at 1:39 PMWhen I had to give a high school graduation speech, my friend dared me to read Green Eggs and Ham. So I worked it into the speech and about half the speech was reading the book.
