Hi kaeshi! Welcome to our wonderful community of learners : ) Just jump right on in and walk along with us. This is the weekend in Shanghai (and, I suppose everywhere else) so I would guess there won't be anyone contacting you. But, I don't know. I don't have the practice plan. Perhaps you can ask goulniky, one of our most prolific community members. He's been a practice plan subscriber for a long time.

Hi Bob, That link wasn't the right one, I don't think.

RJBerki What children's Zhongwen CD's are you referring to? I've started my two adolescents on Rosetta Stone and Muzzy Mandarin both of which I would recommend. When the time is right, I will involve them in CPod, too.

A lesson on Taipei, please. How about a series on the cities/states of origins of our beloved CPod team? Texas, Florida, Ireland, Shanghai, the Philipines and Vancouver...where are hank and steve from?

Compared to my dad's days, I have absolutely nothing to complain about, and everything to be thankful for : )

henning 农民饭---> "heavy use of cabbage, sausages, meat, mashed potatoes, mustard etc" Do you mean German food or Chinese food? Is 农民饭 your term for generic "simple & strong dishes as loved by traditional rural population"? I remember when I was a teen, my dear late father used to put together leftovers into a single large pot and call it "hu2tu2fan4" (sorry 'bout the pinyin, don't know the hanzi) which means "confused" meal. He grew up in Hunan (like Mao Ze Dong), during very austere times and told us how impoverished conditions were. He was from a peasant background. He'd gather rice grains from the roads, one grain at a time, to be able to have something to eat. It was special to have a few preserved black beans with it. Wow! I can't imagine it.
