October 17, 2007 at 10:32 AMThe Kongluo people abducted him, drugged him and turned him into a Zombie. 空落人绑架了建明，逼他吃毒品。 结果，建明改变了Zombie. What's a Zombie in Chinese?

October 17, 2007 at 9:46 AMI guess it depends what you want. I love the flash cards. finally I am back in vocab learning. And then ... the very fact that I have paid money keeps me at it. I need that pressure because Chinese for me is a necessity. I am also learning another language that I am far more interested in. So getting the extra features of premium just gives me that extra impetus I need

October 17, 2007 at 2:48 AMFinally the story continues.... and so does the suspense.... Now I have to wait another week or two to know more. Thanks for another nice lesson.

October 17, 2007 at 2:26 AMDon't be too harsh on Yangjie, guys. Probably she is just one of these insecure young girls who is desperately seeking attention. They are not always out to plots such as "chew tup Wang Wei, spit him out, and leave Li Yan to pick up the pieces". Although at times it may seem so.

October 16, 2007 at 2:58 PMI am the first one to post on this.. Thanks to scottyb's advice I could access it through the lesson link. Nice one. Almost makes me want to sign up. But I do get a lot of speaking practice around here. Nice to hear sputnik/goulniky speak and share his experience.

October 16, 2007 at 12:28 PMI like those diaries because you get somebody to express a thought or two at length, unlike in a conversation. Conversations are great, but whenever I have to talk at length to express a thought, an idea, that's where I get stuck, because I am not used to it. The same goes for listening. It requires slightly different listening skills to listen to a story (or a diary entry) than to a conversation

October 16, 2007 at 12:20 PMthe days of 'China on bike' are numbered. Even in the west of China (the supposedly "less developed" region) biking is not cool anymore. Electric bikes are (in the cities), or even better a car. And the nomads are exchanging their horses for motorbikes...

October 16, 2007 at 1:35 AMWell, "healthily 'thin'" seems hard to get in the west ... Do you know that one out of four women have eating disorders in the West? I think that's a low estimate. And of course, eating disorders can go both ways... "Healthy" I think should be the standard to go by. Obesity is not healthy and anorexia isn't either.

October 17, 2007 at 12:54 PMdanjo, I also have that experience. I don't know if it is about "timely" lessons, or us being made aware of language, new words. Words and expression we don't pay attention to, because we don't know them all of a sudden pop up from all over the place, because they have moved to the front of our conscious thinking about language through studying Cpod lessons. And they do provide us with a lot of everyday, useful expressions.
