March 9, 2008 at 12:08 PMAgree with huasen - intermediate does seem to be getting easier - & upper inter - at long last - accessible. Is it the lessons - or am I really getting better? Also - yes pl - something on visual arts.

October 30, 2007 at 7:25 PMGood lesson - though one of the easier recent ones. Good reinforcement of vocabulary I'd half forgotten as I don't go to China that often. Even extension exercises not too difficult. Good cultural background - more about Chinese grandmas than Chinese medicine...

October 19, 2007 at 5:40 PMUseful - not too difficult. Re-inforces things I should know already - with some new expressions.

October 4, 2007 at 6:50 PMSome useful vocabulary - some I'm never likely to use. But that's enough beauty pageants & plastic surgery - let's study useful stuff.

September 27, 2007 at 6:20 PMA difficult lesson with lots of new vocab & constructions. But important stuff to learn. A contrast from Godzilla..

September 25, 2007 at 5:16 PMVery fast reading & very fast (& difficult) expansion lesson. But text is great way to introduce some useful constructions & vocabulary.

September 17, 2007 at 6:00 PMAgree with Darylk - quite a demanding lesson - must go back several times to take full advantage. Expansion lessons quite difficult too. But all worthwhile.

June 30, 2008 at 5:15 PMUseful lesson - I'm growing more & more confident at this level now. Still following Intermediate as well - language structures at that level familiar enough - but usually some new vocabulary to add to my list.
