December 27, 2007 at 8:10 AMMy dictionaries (Oxford concise and New Age concise) use the character 色 in 色子 (shai3zi) dice. Are Chinese dice coloured?

November 21, 2007 at 9:52 AMCan we get the title back in the PDF's? "Praxis Lesson Transcript" is not very informative.

Posted on: I can't buy my size
May 29, 2007 at 8:49 AMIn the text I read 你知道哪里买得到大尺码的鞋吗 and in the expansion 你知道哪里买得到这种茶 Can I leave out the particle 吗 at will, or is there a deeper reason for it not to appear in the second sentence?

April 29, 2007 at 2:24 PMJenny, Thanks for the explanation. I made a mistake. I meant the fifth line of the dialogue. On the podcast I hear and in the text I read 哪些城市, but on the dialogue page, pressing the button, I hear 哪个城市。My question was about the correct measure word of 城市.

April 29, 2007 at 11:35 AMIn the expansion section I read 哪些城市，but I hear 哪个国家。When do we have to use the measure word 座？

April 20, 2007 at 2:16 PMBoth funny and useful lesson. Does 叽里咕噜，which the Chinese seem to use for language that they don't understand, also belong to this category?

March 20, 2008 at 8:04 AMGoulniky, I would suspect the measure word for 针 here to be 双, similar to 一双筷子 (a pair of chopsticks). I warmly support your request for the appropriate measure words of the nouns in the vocabulary lists.
