just listened to it. haha, pretty funny. It seems like there are lots of snake jokes in Chinese. Is that true? Or are there lots of jokes with all of the animals ?

okay, my next question is, is 大红色 common? Because I recall mentioning it a few times and getting blank stares from Chinese people

I noticed that 橘色／桔色 (júsè) wasn't mentioned in the lesson or included in the comments. Is this word common ? Is there any difference between 橘色and 橙色？

I just learned the word 火柴盒(huǒcháihé), or 一盒火柴(yìhéhuǒchái), meaning "matchbox" and "a box of matches" respectively. 

How do we say "a matchbook"?  A matchbook is a pack of matches that aren't in a box, and aren't made with wooden matches, but rather with paper matches. If needed, please see this wikipedia page on matchbooks:

I think this was probably the most popular and most commented on lesson in the Chinesepod archive. 

Given it's popularity, perhaps there could be a related lesson in Upper Intermediate or Advanced. I think Upper Intermediate would be better because John could be one of the hosts and offer his insight.
