May 3, 2009 at 6:52 PMHi, folks. Really enjoyed the lesson. To wit:
High frequency stuff
Useful counting
Fluency while keeping tone recognition
Big picture, not too literal
Numbers are a separate part of dialogue. Dialogue segments good length.
Random numbers

Hi Bob. Well, under the International system preferences there is a selection you can make for pinyin. Once you select Chinese as the what? As the language you want to use, then you type in the Pinyin and the program will give you a list of Characters to choose from. Problem for me was I did not know which character to pick.

April 10, 2009 at 5:03 PMI really enjoy this lesson. Maybe that is why I weight 250 lbs.
Especially enjoy the slight number of repetitions by Jenny.

Not boring...
