Will this technical issue be ever resolved? I can see videos being posted on youtube and the description mentions "Go to ChinesePod.com for more great lessons and videos! ". But there have been no new updates on the website since June 2022.

Very nice lesson. However, it's been a month since any new content was posted by ChinesePod. All ok?

It will help if we have slightly more precise translations.

For instance, "fan club" is more relatable than "fandom" for 饭圈

Likewise, 吃瓜 is a short form for 吃瓜群众 ("onlookers who are interested in the spectacle but don't have anything knowledgeable to say about it")

What would I do without Pleco!

Love the French translations for the vocabulary section. 一箭双雕!

Very well explained! Directional complements have always intrigued me - thanks for explaining the concept of shifting perspectives of space. Now I understand when people say 坐下来 when they mean "please sit down". I always thought it would be 坐下去.

Also, 轻巧 has been converted to Pinyin as "easy" instead of "qīngqiǎo"

忙忙碌碌的 has been converted to Pinyin as máng de - I believe it should be mángmánglùlùde.

I believe the above have now been fixed. Thanks.

Great lesson. The lesson notes could be better. Lots of pinyin missing from the lesson PDF - 鮮,呱呱,择, etc.
