I think this type of lesson is so useful and am very enthusiastic about it; I think maybe the use of the suffix "jia1" a bit confusion; should use when?  Cannot use when talking about yourself.  Again my solid interest in this way of studying the Chinese language. Don't drop this one.

Had not checked this for a while, but this lesson was really cool!

John Pasden: Thank you so much for the native speaker saying the Premium content.  The difference is amazing and I am learning the rhythm, flow, and tones of this beautiful language.  I think the attention to this section is a must for Premium members.  I hope others appreciate the very, very nice change.

Having to come to the site to bookmark a lesson is required to then get the iTune download. This is less user friendly and I don't see the benefit to the end user.

Can anyone tell me why I have not received this lesson in my iTunes feed?  With all the changes it is very difficult to navigate the site.

Nice to have a Ken Carroll fix.  hehe

This maybe is an early lesson since Jenny is in the dialogue.

I don't have a pet.

Where is Ken Carroll?  I do miss his personality in the Podcasts.

John has a different style; also different technique of teaching.  Definitely enjoy the lessons though difficulty level is sometimes too hard.  

That is always a teacher's dilemma, what to leave in; what to leave out.  

Still all in all I will miss him if he is out of the game.

Like some of the new CP features; upgrade of Exercizes looks interesting; something I had not used in the past; the tone conversion tool; very cool; nice job John; Connie.
