Posted on: Fog or Smog?

I was talking to a chinese person, and she told me that 家乡 is more formal, and often found in books or other written stuff, whereas 老家 is more common in spoken language. What are your thoughts on this? Does this sound right? I want to check because she gave me the explanation in Chinese, and maybe I misunderstood it.

thanks.

I have lots of questions about this lesson! What about 家乡？ How is it different than 老家？

Thanks.

Oh wait, I missed the answer when I listened to the lesson before. 变化 is a noun. I think that is the difference. Am I right?

Another question... the term 变化， how does it vary from other words that mean change? for example, 改变，

thanks

so 烟雾 refers only to smog, and 污染 refers to pollution in general?

Hi there, me again.. (so sorry... so sorry for being such a pain... ) but I have another question about the content in this lesson. Jenny makes a comment that 高楼 is for tall building, and 大厦 is also for a building, but used when describing a headquarters for a company or something. What I would like when I would use 高楼, when I would use 大厦, and when I would use 高楼大厦. Perhaps, a few example sentences for each case? Thanks again in advance.

Excuse me, I have a question.. What is the Chinese word for 'smog'? I am not too clear, but perhaps 污染 is the chinese translation?

thanks.

Just a thought, but perhaps the bst lessons ought to have a vocabulary tab?

Posted on: Asking the Time

I was looking through the newbie lessons today, and noticed that the old 'Asking the Time' lesson '0122' was deleted. It isn't a big deal, but it seems a bit odd. Is this the new policy? Chinesepod will remove the old newbies when the new ones are published?
