May 11, 2016 at 1:26 PMThis is a good lesson. I would definitely welcome more content relating to social media and its respective terms. It's not as easy to look up the GUI interfaced terms since we can't copy and paste, and on smartphones the text is pretty small to boot.

May 11, 2016 at 1:19 PMThe dialogue is voiced by the same voice actors who do most of the lessons. It's an unfair criticism. To be fair, Gwilym accent is good. He has a good ear on tones and usually makes the correct mouth movements on the sounds. He's also only done like two lessons where he was part of the dialogue, which I think listeners found interesting according to the comments (he played the role of 外國人 so it made sense) Maybe you are mistaking the male voice actor's accent as a little strange, since it's stronger than Taiwan ones. However, it's great to hear many accents. God knows China has like 1 million different native accents.

May 11, 2016 at 7:01 AMLate reply but I am certain 打工 is used to mean part time work, as I have heard many friends use that term.

April 25, 2016 at 4:22 AMA 2011 study found that 7% of language is verbal, the other 93% is body language and tone of voice. I recall a similar percentage in a business communication course I took in university.
They are simulating many kinds of situations, which is a big reason I prefer Chinesepod over other courses. Have you even paid attention to the way people speak naturally? There is a plethora of "over-acting" used constantly, all the time.
Rosetta Stone and Pimsleur are up your alley if you prefer dreadful, monotone conversation samples.

April 21, 2016 at 6:19 AM我在日本常常看到學生8，9點才回家。好慘咯
在美國沒有參加社團的學生3點左右就可以回家了，但是大多數的美國高中學生好像下課之後打工，特別在暑假的時。
說實話，雖然我們爸媽不勉強我們參加這麽多活動，美國的孩子好像都有多愛好。我在亞洲很小踫到這種人。。。
有人有其他的想法嗎？

April 10, 2016 at 5:15 AMYou are right, the brewery is named after Qilin. But if you ever need to say "giraffe" in Japanese, now you can!
