johnb..yeah that was a typo.Thanks for confirming that. But at 19s which one are you saying is right? The first one which is what it sounded like to me?

19s :专业 [which is what it sounds like and I guess could make sense when being used jokingly] ..or could it be 转业 [which could be related to the topic]?

32s: John: 考虑到各种各种各样的因素?

Would I be right in guessing that this wouldn't worry/offend a Chinese woman as much as it would a Western woman? Is this changing as China's contact with western culture increases? Will it have some women demanding: bring back the Mao suits!

I'm curious as to whether the lesson dialogue and audio review are cd quality or radio quality?

dk,

speed is ok mate. but i'm always either close to running out of data for the month or do run out of data which then slows my down to slower than dial up [so although the difference in MB between radio quality and cd quality isn't much, ever MB counts at the moment and radio quality has been fine]. ..but from tomorrow have a much higher data allowance so will definitely try it out and let you know. Cheers :)

They used to be in the shopping centres here, but I don't recall them so much in more recent times. Also some gyms have them, and resorts.

I'd like some cultural insights regarding discussing weight in Chinese society. Is the dialogue realistic for example? [with the guy being ganga/secretive about it]. Do Chinese ask each other their weight? Is there a gender difference? What about a bmi difference?

thanks and thanks dunder. You've made me think it's worth a shot then. I get a better data deal next month from my isp, so can't wait to try it out then.

thanks Bill. I'd love to know what some of your favourite Chinese popular songs are. I'm just discovering the joy of learning the words to a Chinese song.
