Hi there - can I ask why there are only two groups of expansion sentences? These have always been my favorite and some of the most-helpful for learning how to build sentences and grow my vocabulary. Why is ChinesePod reducing from three groups to two? Thanks in advance for your response.

Thank you for this lesson. I have two questions/comments:

  1. Why are there expansion sentences for only two of the vocab words? The expansion sentences are some of the most-helpful aspects of ChinesePod, and I don't understand why they are being reduced.

  2. There is no audio recording of the expansion sentences. Can you please fix this?

Hey there - I have a simple grammar question. On the expansion sentence "爸爸寄了一个包裹给我", how much flexibility do you have in moving the clauses around? For instance, is "爸爸寄了给我一个包裹" 或者
“爸爸寄了个包裹给我” 或者 “爸爸寄给我了个包裹” acceptable? (Many a good topic for another pre-intermediate lesson!)

The vocab review doesn't have the answers in Chinese.  Can you please fix this?  Thanks!

Thanks for this lesson.  Just wanted to point out a problem in the vocab review: the last three expansion sentences (for 当地) do not have the Mandarin answers recorded, only the English sentences.  (I am accessing this on the app.)  Thanks in advance if you can fix this.
