I keep a pen and line paper with me while studying lessons. I fold the paper vertically, and write the dialogue on one side in English and the other in pinyin. Hanzi goes on the back. This way I can review English to Mandarin, which really helps with speaking practice. I do the same with all the expansion vocabulary and expansion sentences, and review them often. I try to only look at the English when skyping with my tutor. Sometimes she says I said it differently from the way it's written in the lesson, but it is still correct. I know my proficiency is growing when this happens.

It would be very useful if the PDFs came with the English and Chinese in separate columns, so the paper could be folded and used to do dialogue drills and so on.

Anyways, Cpod is 太好了［tàihǎole］!

Another excellent one! I use all the great feasures you discussed. It took me a little while to figure them out, so it's nice to have these "How to" lessons.

I really like it when the audio reviews contain ALL of the expansion sentences. These are perhaps the most useful premium feature for speaking practice. Please keep the good work! 谢谢［xièxie］！！
