Posted on: The 着 (zhe) Chronicles: How We Verb

thanks for this lesson, I think it is a quite simple lesson, it would be great if you guys put this particle in some provokes or saying

I know one provoke that mentioned in the dialogue, it is:

"站着说话不腰疼"  it is easier said than done 

Posted on: Something Special

Thanks for this lesson, 

"用chinesepod 学中文的特点就是很实用，也很方便"  in this sentence the word "特点" can change to "优点."  Since the meaning of the sentence is to emphasize Chinesepod “实用 and 方便”   

Posted on: Approximate Numbers - Part 2

it is another great lesson! 

I remembered there is another magic word can also mean the approximate number, which is "把"

eg: 万把块钱 （around 10,000 kuai )

Posted on: Approximate Numbers - Part 1

WOW, what a great lesson! 

thanks for the great explanations! So, I think if you put the words "上下"  at the back of the number, which also can mean the approximate

numbers. 

eg: 50 上下

     around 50

“中文播客的课程真的很好，不信就学学看”

Chinesepod's lessons are really great,  if you don't believe it just come to give it a try.

Posted on: Originally Original

It looks like they are interchangeable, but “原来" can mean "something is not changed" while "本来" can't have this meaning

eg:他决定按照原来的方法做 he decided to do it in the old way. 

but you can't say:

他决定按照本来的方法做（wrong)

Posted on: 为 and 为了

Thanks for this lesson guys！ 

so, “为了”  it is to emphasize the purpose in the sentence, 

while "为" not only means purpose but also can mean "because"   "to give" and some other meanings.
