I think it's great that you guys switch it up, it's nice to hear your Chinese names.

Love this lesson, I can certainly use some of it's vocab when talking with my wife as she is very 粗心 with her phone and electronics haha. It's cool that Fi is using her chinese name to introduce herself, why the change?

I always get my left and right mixed up in Mandarin as well, I don't know why. My wife on the other hand always gets her left and right mixed up in English but is fine in Mandarin, funny how the brain works like that.

Go is a game that I only played once with my father in-law but it seems like a really fun game. I will look into learning how to properly play and thanks to this lesson I have some great vocabulary to use while speaking with my father in-law. Thanks for another great lesson :)

Haha, this is great!  Was taking transit  to work while listening to this and I was so relaxed that I fell asleep on the train and woke up at the end of the line with a homeless person going through my pockets. I tried to yell at him but I had forgotten how to speak english and had to use my now perfectly fluent mandarin! Time to switch from ChinesePod to EnglishPod I guess :(

This was written using good translate so please excuse any grammatical issues.

I watched a YouTube video a while ago about life in Japan and how getting these types of tests are not common and doctors spread mis-information about statistics.

How would you say that Taiwan and Mainland China are like in this regard? Is sexual health and safety opening supported or is it still a bit of a taboo subject?

Excellent lesson indeed, Gwilym was right when he said that you wouldn't find lessons on this type of content anywhere else. It's nice to see that ChinesePod doesn't shy away from important topics just because they are awkward.

The ankle is much better now and i cam play sports again. It was more annoying because it happened in the last 30 seconds of the game.

Natasha did a great job! I sprained my ankle playing soccer at the end of last year so I can really relate to this lesson :S

Hi @matman1115 are you referring to A: 请把盘子拿进去。qǐng bǎ pánzi ná jìnqù.Please bring your plate in there.B: 这个,我还没开始吃。zhè ge, wǒ hái méi kāishǐ chī.This one, I still haven't started eating. Or was there another part you are confused about?
