April 7, 2008 at 2:01 AMWow, for a somewhat depressing lesson, it sure got a lot of response! wolson, Your points are taken, although in dialogues like this we're trying not so much to give you listening practice in facts, but rather practice in the kinds of things people actually say about the places. Sure, we could spit out a whole history lesson on Detroit, but that's not going to be so useful when you actually speak. At this level, we want you to be equipped to understand (and reply to) the very basic comments that Chinese people might make about certain famous cities.

April 8, 2008 at 6:00 AMauntie68, Certainly we are interested in much more than propagating stereotypes, but clearly simply understanding what is said is the first step; arguing another case is the next one. We want to help you to do both, but likely not in one podcast.
