Posted on: Lao Wang's Office 4: Communication in the Office
November 3, 2009 at 5:18 AMhow on the expansion and exercise could you say a girl looks like Jackie Chan? I got 42 out of 44 because I put 跟 instead of 和 on the parent/teacher communication one, then I said 他长得很想成龙 but the example wanted "她".
Just a idle minute complaint, nothing to see here. :)
Hey at least I don't get he, she, him, her mixed up in speaking like my middle school students do (but I only have to say ta and ta de)

August 31, 2009 at 4:04 AMI wrote a story about my encounter with two rats in my apartment in Fuzhou...I would post them but they are a little long. I have them on my website but I'm traveling right now...I might try to reup my subscription and post it in the next day or two. My friends and family in America absolutely loved "Rat Battles".

Could we have a series of Elementary-to-Intermediate transition lessons, which focus exclusively on the language that Jenny uses to describe the language? I would suggest that the usual lesson format be abandoned for these lessons, in order to fit in plenty of examples.
Is a great idea, I had to ask my Chinese coworkers for most of this and it took about 3 lessons listening to a Chinese person to figure out the idle chat. If the above poster doesn't live in China it will be even more difficult.

April 23, 2009 at 6:04 AMHaven't listened, but went through the vocab and dialouge. Learned a few basic words but overall intermediate lessons are not as tough as they were before...scary that I need to start getting into upper-intermediate to challenge myself.
Using C-pod as a strong supplement to your Chinese learning really helps folks. Living in China I've gone from low intermediate to high intermediate (C-Pod level intermediate) in a few months. Something tells me posting this on the discussion board is preaching to the choir.

March 4, 2009 at 6:07 AMWow...been in China for 2 years and just learned this bit a couple of days ago...this lesson was quite good for the extent of the lexus of 清楚. 因为我的耳朵不好我经常应该说“听不清，麻烦你再说一遍“

March 2, 2009 at 6:26 AMwas the music used in this lesson from the play where the girl is talking to her ma ma and ba ba in the song? The music sounds very similar and has the same stick into your head quality.

February 27, 2009 at 3:35 AMWhat's with all the Cantonese talk I keep seeing in messages lately?
I hope Chinese pod will return my email today so that I can buy that one year subscription before the month is up. I emailed from my username email.

November 4, 2009 at 4:57 AMEureka! At my school (Xuzhou #1 Middle School), when the class ends this voice says 下课时间到了老师你们辛苦了. I always understood, but never got the cultural meaning-I mean after all-teaching for 45 minutes or an hour and a half at a time does usually tire me out.
