Hi! This is the first lesson I am looking at after many months of absence... I really like this format and the contents are very helpful. Maybe I need to subscribe again.

When watching or listening to the lesson, is there any way to control it by keyboard? It would be so helpful! Just spacebar for pausing/ continuing and the arrow keys to jump backwards and forward 15 secs like in any youtube video. Often, I just want to listen to a particular phrase several times. Doing that by mouse is arduous.

And by the way: If Nick just like that accepts swallowing the freight costs, he won't end up crazy rich but dirt poor or at least get himself squid fried. The price for shipping ocean containers is now 4-5 times of what it used to be...

哇!我半年没上过cpod, 回来的时候发现有了这么庞大的进步! 这可能是我2009年开始用中文博客以来看到最棒的课程。 

1. 语言是非常自然, 现实中的。 不像以前的一些, 稍微勉强读起来的对话。 

2. 全部课程带字幕特别有用, 让我很容易明白一些难懂的地方, 一些方言的部分, 一些不认识的词。 

总归, 我学到了很多, 非常感谢! 请继续作出这样的课, 加油!

你们好! 这片课文教我了一些很有用的词汇, 谢谢。 

荧幕: 这是台湾用的吗? 我以前没听到过, 我一直说屏幕。

Nice lesson! I really like the approach to look at a certain aspect of the language from many angles. Also, the expansion sentences are really useful this time. Looking forward to more lesssons of this type.

Seems like both is possible? At least I found both in the dictionaries:

亚马孙 ya4ma3sun1

亚马逊 ya4ma3xun4

I also would like to say that I really appreciate the expansion sentences for this lesson! I think they are short and useful, help to understand the sense and use of the vocabulary, without being long and distracting. Every phrase focuses on the vocab at hand without superfluous and long-winded sub-clauses. 加油!

很有用的课!以前谈谈天气的事情是完全没有风险的话题, 现在变成一个非常有政治味道的题目。 

可惜的是, 南非的火灾与我们欧洲人和亚洲人的消费习惯息息相关。 因为我们大肆把那里种的大豆当作我们养殖牲畜的饲料, 所以对农田的需求越来越大。 今年巴西放火的幅度真令人害怕。

If you mean the company: yes, their dot-cn website is headed 亚马逊.

Hey and I thought it was just me thinking this way, because I earn my living with sushi... But I guess it means Su Shi, the name of the poet?

糟糕了, 昨天晚上写一片很长的帖子, 结果是, 全部被浏览器吃掉了, 只剩下第一句。 我再写一次: 

首先我觉得这篇课程非常好。 虽然我以前没有经常接触到中文诗歌, 但是主持人的解释很清楚, 发音也是。 我在家听课, 同时通过窗口赏月, 哈哈, 很不错。 

只有两个部分我听不懂:

5:45: 还能解释kongtuochu(???),天空的辽阔

7:30: 人有悲伤, 快乐, 离别, Kuanju(???)

谢谢帮忙分解一下。 

 

然后我还有一个很不浪漫的问题, 和诗歌没有关系但是希望有人可以回答: -0,5%怎么讲? 零下百分之零点五还是百分之零下零点五?
