March 19, 2010 at 11:32 AMAgreed.As I said I'm not saying they have predictable stuff at all and yes they're often very funny for that very reason [not to mention others like the tone of voice etc].But some questions for example have limited options in the answer [eg yes/no questions...it can be very easy to predict something as simple as 对】。So not the overall dialogue,but perhaps guessing right on the following sentence,that type of thing.So I'm just wondering how far others have ever got in that regard..beyond just predicting a dui or bushi.

March 19, 2010 at 10:44 AMok,intially there's getting to the point where you can follow the dialogue.Next step is speaking along with the dialogue.How many have reached a point where they can predict the dialogue? After all John indicated in this lesson that a good study technique is to practice what you're going to say before hand and then predict some responses.How many have tried that with the dialogues,and if so,to what degree of success? [I'm not suggesting that CPod is lame or predictable...not for a sec...I love the dialogues...but some responses naturally flow in a conversation....at least I find when I'm watching English movies,what is going to happen is often very predictable and what is going to be said is sometimes predictable also]
Posted on: Asking for the WiFi password
March 18, 2010 at 1:41 PMyeah,but the point is that it is letters you type [even if those letters really are numbers to a computer].When you ask for someone's password,you're not going to be asking them the hexadecimal numbers are you? You wanna know what you need to type. Pull out man...you're in the puters too deep [you're tie will get caught in the hard drive],you're not seeing the forest for the trees.[j/k] Anyway mate,I'm sorry as I'm sure you were joking [and I see your point].It's just that there's nothin' else to debate at the moment. :)

March 21, 2010 at 3:52 AMexcellent question mate
google:
"贵是贵，但是质量好"...3060
"贵是贵，可是质量好"....3
...3's not much to go on [but putting a phrase that long in parenthesis usually means not many results unless it's a saying or something....so I'm guessing it's valid but less common] but let's hope you get an answer.
btw I'm astounded at how many lessons you seem to get through in a week.I can't even keep up with the new ones,so I'm feeling really slack.Jiayou mate. :)
