October 13, 2008, 01:25 PMWatching a familiar story is a great way to learn. I'm at the elementary level but often listen to intermediate podcasts to stretch myself. This video was pretty easy for me! More please.

September 13, 2008, 02:42 PMAs an Elementary poddie I liked the fact that the guests spoke a lot of Chinese today. I can still only pick out the occasional word but it's such a joy when I recognize enough to get the gist of a sentence! (I listen to the intermediate lessons for the same reason.) And Amber's responses make it pretty clear what was being said, so I don't feel I'm missing out on the information.
So encourage your guests to speak Mandarin Amber! Thanks to all who posted pix of Chinese cakes for those of us who don't live there (and have never been there. Why am I learning Chinese? Just because CPod makes it fun!)

September 28, 2009, 02:51 PMIs there a lesson set on things Westerners would have problems with in restaurants (anything alive, too much bones & skin, innards etc.)? If I ever get to visit China I want to study up on that before I go. I dread ordering something gross. I'm not a total wimp - I'll order the dish of the day in the local Japanese restaurant and believe me, there are some pretty unidentifiable things in there. But moving shrimp would have ME screaming 啊啊啊 too.
