Hey, great lesson! Also timely for me. Anyway, seems you left the vocab list short? Bride, groom, best man, etc.

during my too short time in china, in most my meals i ate with others using serving sticks for each dish. but one night, i ate with a family at their home each each person using their own sticks to serve themselves. i was a little nervous, but is this a problem in china? that people get sick from other's germs when eating this way?

Marygrace- Thinking of the 4th tone as a shorter sound might help.

Hi Amber- In general, how could you express anywhere and anytime as when someone asks you where or what time?

Amber- I really like the contextual feedback on synonyms. I've actually copied the one on 'to understand' to study on it's own.

Jenny- 'Does anyone find these 2 exhausting?' No way! Tedium is exhausting. These guys are invirgorating! The guessing game is great, but no doubt that Lantian's is the best. I've seen many tragic endings (gong li's nervous breakdown at end of 'Red Lantern..'?), but 'suzhou river' might be my favorite with respect to a couple.

Agree with Paulo. Using pinyin along with characters certainly makes sense in a newbie discussion.

What a great discussion. The numbers talk was very interesting. And I enjoy contextual information such as LaoBa's contribution. I wonder more about other 'insults' that can be used in a teasing context (would hate to make a showstopping comment). I know there was such a lesson before, but it'd be great to hear comments from the group.

Slava- The PDF is only available for subscribers. There is a subscription for just the pdf's that's pretty inexpensive.
