This was awesome. I notice that Fiona pronounced 质地 as zhídì, but the dictionary says zhìdì. Is this a regional variation? 

Also, how would you describe the differences between furry, shaggy, scratchy and fluffy textures?

Thanks for explaining this. I've often wondered the same thing.

That would be intriguing. What format would you like to see that in?

I've been watching these guys for a couple of years, waiting for more titles to come out and pondering whether or not to acquire an e-reader or get the physical copies. I'm glad to see they have more books than the last time I checked, though I would like have the option of starting with simplified in an e-book, which doesn't seem to be available. Nevertheless, so glad you're teaming up with them.

Oo, thank you! This is so helpful. Ever since our conversation that day, I have been thinking about this expression as carrying a tone of "don't blame me, can't you see how this isn't my fault?" It's very useful to have it all spelled out like this with so many different examples. I hope other people find and enjoy this video too.

Hi zaphekiah, 

Where you able to make out around 3:23 when Connie says "yǎnjing zhízhí" … do you know what this "zhízhí" is?
