Chinesepod确实是一个独一不二的播客!你们这场节目真是数一数二的!我只很吃惊看到这节课有“初级水平”的记号!我觉得这是挺混淆的。。成语课为中级和高中级水平的学生也很有用,其实,平时我们往往得到中级水平,才能意识到学成语的重要性!谢谢你们这样讲课的方法,真让人感到学成语的乐趣。

Thank you! Very interesting. I especially like the explanation about the way to describe a beautiful woman :)

Great lesson! I had a whale of time learning idioms about snakes :)) I've got a question: in French there is an expression: to have "une langue de vipère" which literally translates as "to have viper's tongue" and a real meaning is to have a sharp tongue. I'm wondering, is there a simillar expression in Chinese? Does it use snake as an metaphor in this case?

Besides, I've heard that in China to say "snake" about a women would mean to say that this women is very beautiful. Is it true?

Thank you in advance!

Thanks a lot for making lessons on WeChat! I looked up whether you have lessons with WeChat as a tag on the day upon my arrival to China when I was persuaded to download WeChat (I'm really old school...) and I was very happy to discover a bunch of them! As always, great job!

A little question: could somebody help me to figure out what characters stand for daqiang gongmen (I guess daqiang should be written as 大强, but have now idea about the second word) Dilu says before the start of the first time dialogue?

The lesson was uploaded long ago... Hope there is still someone to keep up with the conversation :-) 

Besides, it's nice, that its already 2019 and WeChat is still free to use :-)
