October 10, 2014 at 9:02 PMWhen I read the dialog for the first time, just before listening to the show, I thought: "Oh my..., it will be quite difficult and boring, and not really very useful to me". But I listened to the show and you gave very interesting cultural informations ! Now I think: "I must study and listen to it again". So thank you and congratulations !!

September 23, 2014 at 8:23 AMEven if topics of the lessons are not directly very useful or interesting to me, I have always some grammar points or some vocabulary to grap in the lessons. That is why I like Chinesepod !

September 16, 2014 at 8:14 AMGreysparrow, I totally agree with you ! I love the lessons because of their linguistic and cultural content. I'm not an English native speaker and it's very useful to me to have different words in English. And I like hearing the orthography of the word when I'm just listening to the dialog and not both reading and listening to. It helps me to remember.

BTW, your explanations about loan words are very interesting.

October 13, 2014 at 8:07 AMWhat about GMO ? I've heard that China produces genetically modified rice. Is it used in China ? Is it written on the products that it's GMO ? And how to say GMO in Chinese ?
