Regarding the Supplementary Vocabulary. I'm new to this and I can't work out even the first word! Is it qi nyan or qin yen ? and how would I be able to tell in the future, if the Pin Yin words are joined together? The girl pronouncing the words in the sound file is not at all clear! The second phrase sounds like qi nyan kan ka... without a final 'n' sound!! Sorry to sound so negative, but learning Chinese can be a bit frustrating at times.

Neither MP3 file plays in WMP! I can see the captioned dialogue (English and PinYin) for the shorter dialogue-only MP3 file, but no sound for either file. Is this a known problem or should we be playing them in iTunes? If so how do you see the captions in the iTunes player?
