November 19, 2009 at 7:37 PMHello,
In the Vocab section 苗條 (miáotiao) is given 2 and nuetral tones. thats the right way, correct? I should drop the second tone and make it nuetral on 條? Couple of my dictionaries disagree with each other.

November 16, 2009 at 10:55 PM大家好 我的 Newbie brothers and sisters...
While it might be easy for higher level users to applaud the end of fresh newbie lessons （perhaps because it no longer is useful for them anymore.） I as a complete newbie feel kind of sad. While it may look like there are 320 some newbie lessons if you actually compare the quality of the older newbie lessons with that of the more resent ones you find that Chinesepod has greatly perfected their teaching ability and style, Not only do many of the really old ones seem more like elementary (to me) but Ken and Jenny were doing the dialogues and the Translations. In some i’ve seen that they voice over Ken but this just goes to show you the choppiness。In essence its quality over quantity, right? I’m glad you have the quantity you want....
I'm less impressed by what upper intermediate or advanced learners are happy about or want nor would I presume to tell them what I wanted to expect from their lessons. But I would like some feed back from my fellow Newbies..
Cliffnotes: While you cheer I think i'll go cry in the corner. I'll get over it I guess but I could use a hug or something :)
