Great to hear things are going well mate. Re jumping in, there was a list of poddies favourite lessons and also favourite threads from last year here:

Nick: hi everyone, my name is Xia Yan, I come from Shanghai, China. Currently I work at ChinesePod as their Sales Manager. I really enjoy working here and also my colleagues are extremely friendly. Because I previously studied and worked in Holland I can share my experiences I had there and tell everyone what was different about studying and working there .
Yeah, my Chinese name is Xia Yan.

February 19, 2011 at 9:42 PM关于这个例子：
“听说他娶了个很有钱的老婆，以后在家吃吃软饭就行了”
。。这个“行了”听有意思。以前其他的例子暗指“吃软饭”不行，但是在这个例子“行了”。。我猜是这个男人感觉这样的生活行了，对吧？

February 19, 2011 at 9:17 PMThis sentence:
他老喜欢吃女同事的豆腐
is a prime example of why this QW is particularly useful,interesting, helpful. If we were to strike an instance where we have “吃豆腐” and context made it apparent that there was something going on other than eating tofu we may head to the dictionary and get some insight as to what's going on. But when the structure is split up as in the above example there's a chance this will be missed , 吃豆腐 won't be looked up and we'll be in the dark. There's also a little lesson in that....looking for structures in sentences where the meaning seems strange/unclear.
