Amber,

I'm sorry if this has been mentioned before in other posts [but my quick search couldn't find it ],but the pdf's for all the DA shows I have tried to open won't work.Is there a solution to this? Also ,I take it there will be no pdf's for the new shows? Thanks.Love your show btw.

CPod team,

In the opening discussion you mention wushu [?spelling,tones on wu?] for martial arts.A suggestion for an elementary lesson would be dialogue taking place in a wushu/kung fu class.As far as I can see there has not been one before [except for upper intermediate on Shaolin temple which is currently beyond my reach ],and this art is something very much associated with China.Thankyou.

jim_parker,

that's the way I heard it too.Funny thing is that I've been listening to so much CPod that at the same time as hearing the English "tool" ,I also heard ,within that word ,the Chinese tǔ 土 ,which for me will now be a good way to remember it as the meanings have some similarity.

artkho,

Many thanks for the website link to the Expat Show Shanghai.For some reason the website took a long time to download,but when it did I can see that this is the 2nd show.Did anyone go to last years show ,and if so ,zěnmeyàng 怎么样 ?

Amber,

Perhaps this could be the topic of a Dear Amber show?

Lots of exciting developments.Though I won't be able to make the expat show ,I'd like to know more about it.How long has it been going? Is it going to be on every year and on the same date? Is there a website about it?

So ,to clarify,I take it in using this structure that it is not so much a case of A being less "good" than B,but more of a case of A being less "adjective" than B,as an adjective with an undesirable quality can be used in this structure?

Chinakaren,

I don't know if you're having the same trouble I initially had,but when it was neutral tone I wasn't initially putting a number for it.Then I tried putting a 5 for neutral tone and found this then worked.Just a suggestion.

azerdocmum,

Your link to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8POGv5b15IM

looked really funny even though my Mandarin is nowhere near good enough to follow the dialogue.There's no translation of it anywhere I s'pose?Thanks.
