September 22, 2014 at 9:12 AMThis is difficult for Intermediate level. Lots of useful expressions around polite speech - but also some fairly technical business/ industry vocabulary - all in the same sentence. Quite hard going...

February 26, 2014 at 8:19 AMA difficult lesson - a lot of new vocabulary & complex constructions. But highly topical content - well worthwhile working through the difficulties.

January 16, 2014 at 8:06 AMGood practical lesson with some vocabulary I should know by now but seem to have forgotten. Agree though with other users that at this level more important to concentrate on character recognition & tones rather than spelling of pinyin.

January 16, 2014 at 8:04 AMGood practical lesson. Good reminders of vocabulary I ought to know by now, but seem to have forgotten. Agree though with other users that at this level we should concentrate more on character recognition & tones - rather than spelling of pinyin.

September 23, 2014 at 10:55 AMThanks Jenny. I'll take that advice. The language used in a business context is very useful - some phrases I hadn't seen elsewhere. Needs working through the quite complex business-specific vocabulary, however, much of it new to me. Tough for Intermediate level!
