Kyle, I don't know whether the Arab states invented printing or not, but I do know that Koreans were the first to use moveable-type printing. I got points taken off an exam by a professor who still believes Gutenburg was the first in the world. Anyway, it wasn't as useful in Korea as in Europe because they were using hanzi. Even with moveable type, it's not easy to print a book in hanzi. :P Okay, sorry for the rabbit trail. . . How can I say, "I enjoy writing poetry." If I say, 我的爱好是写诗歌, does that mean "compose poetry" (my intended meaning) or does that mean "write out someone else's poems by hand" (not at all my meaning). Anybody know?

Amber, I am sure that there was an old Advanced lesson on Chinese Poetry. I also have it downloaded on my computer. DId it get axed when V3 came along? Anyway, I enjoyed this one and am looking forward to more.

我很喜欢这样的课程。虽然billybobjoebobwilly喜欢有用的题目，我觉得这样的很无聊啊。To each his own.

我觉得王伟快要和Yang Jie谈恋爱。 In this sentance, my meaning is "I think that Wang Wei will soon date Yang Jie." Is my sentance anything close to correct?　谢谢你们！ 我非常喜欢ChinesePod！

Henning, I'm in Korea and the double-eyelid thing is a big deal here. People consider that "Asian" eyes are "single-eyelid" and Western eyes are "double-eyelid." Seems like lots of women, even men, are trying to get double-eyelids. Even the Korean president is reputed to have had plastic surgery on his eyes. Honestly, I can hardly tell the difference before and after, but people seems to think it makes their eyes look larger. Go figure. . .

Changye, 안녕하세요! 한국어를 하실 줄 몰랐습니다! 아주 잘 쓰셨습니다. 그런데 한국에 수박이 매우 비싸단 말이에요. 일본에 똑같아요? 요즘은 값은 $12부터요. 그레서 제가 너무 많이 먹지 읺습니다. 아마 중국을 가보면 수박을 꼭 먹어야 됩니다. Changye씨 수박을 잘 안 드시는데 배를 많이 드시기 바랍니다. 이번달 가을 접어들어서 배가 아주 맛있고 별로 비싸지 않답니다. Ok, here is my attempt to translate my Korean to Chinese for the rest of you. :P Beware of errors! Changye，你好！我不知道你会说韩国话。你写得非常好啊！那我觉得在韩国西瓜很贵。跟日本一样吗？ 最近价格是$12差不多, 所以我不能吃得很多。如果我去中国，一定要吃西瓜。那你不太喜欢吃西瓜，清你吃梨吧。 从这个月秋天来了，梨最好吃，而且不那么贵。

That's okay, Kyle. Ｉstudied Korean for years and never learned my shapes. Finally, I was chatting in Korean with a friend and asked her to teach me. She just laughed and said basically "Three-side-shape, four-side-shape, five-side-shape."
