Hi,

there used to be a French Chinesepod blog by Christian: "blogs.chinespod.com/fr".

Unfortunately, it has withered away.

I am still trying to keep up the German blog at "blogs.chinespod.com/de" although there isn't that much happening in terms of comments.

john: maybe radii, diameter, circumference are something to start with.btw: How do you say "pull someones leg" or "practical joke" in Chinese?

Does that mean that these days accessibility is not so much an issue when you stick to w3c rules?

matthiask: zero is not the most complex, it's a real number. (remember this sqrt of -1 stuff, e.g. 3.14 + 7.225i??) did we have a lesson on those math numbers yet?

Does Cpod support access for users with visual impairment etc.? I once tried to understand specific html design rules and quickly gave up. The size of Chinese characters is probably not a great help.

slightly off-topic: there is no text translation in the mobile version. Being on holiday, I still want to keep at least somewhat in the loop.

At the top is something labeled "Exercises". I was thrilled that DA comes with exercises, too, So, I immediately gave it a try ... NOTHING!

I would love to have some vocab exercises or listening aptitude stuff here! It could even be something in English on the cultural side of things.

I just read that China has experienced an earthquake with magnitudes up to 8 and buildings were shaking in Beijing and Shanghai. I hope everyone here is fine. Do you have more news on events? Have you experienced any earth tremors?

amber: Thus, learner(s) of Chinese is 中文学习者 and 中文学生们 would have been Chinese learners - if it makes any sense whatsoever?

Would rituals when moving into a new home be a topic for a 请问? Like, in Germany, when you move into a new house or flat, neighbors would give you some bread and salt. Anything like this in China? Are there any - possibly ancient, superstitious - acts when people move house?
