Posted on: 六一儿童节
April 4, 2008 at 3:53 AM我挺喜欢采访的方式！虽然在美国的日历上能看到儿童节，我们好像不庆祝这个节日。我小的时候我问我父母为什么不庆祝，他们说是因为对于父母来说天天都是儿童节！ 顺便说一下，对话MP3有"金花鼠"! :) (The chipmunks have returned, at least in the Dialogue MP3)
Posted on: Sweet Roasted Chestnuts
March 30, 2008 at 1:45 AMI went to one of my favorite Chinese restaurants (in China) last night. I was scanning the mammoth-sized menu looking for something new to try when I saw 栗子鸡 - chestnuts with chicken. I think without this lesson I wouldn't have been inspired to try it - it turned out to be extremely good, though the chestnut/chicken ratio was very skewed in favor of the chestnuts. Are they often used in other Chinese dishes?

March 25, 2008 at 6:40 AMThis lesson was really fascinating. When I was in Chengdu a few years ago, I ran across an artist who also played around with 假汉子. Some of his art involved morphing a picture of an animal so that it looked like a Chinese character. Is this technique a common modern art style in China? Working on deciphering the English in the first picture... By the way, the third picture seems down （at least in China).

March 13, 2008 at 1:55 AMCan't wait for the math and economics/politics lessons Jenny! This series really fills a gap in the kinds of topics/lessons that were available.

March 12, 2008 at 4:20 AMHi, I noticed in the new Flash vocabulary list, some of the longer English definitions get cut off. For example, for 饮食男女 I only see 'food, drink, and' (though I can guess the ending!) I'm using Firefox.

March 11, 2008 at 3:03 AMI saw that the 'Vocabulary' tab is using a new application to present the vocab. Now, when I uncheck a word (i.e. I don't want to save it to my vocab manager) a popup windows comes up that says 'false'. Just a bug? I'm using Firefox The lesson was useful. I had noticed that China doesn't use the AA/AAA system, but never gotten around to learning what they use in its place. On the supplementary vocab you have '没电' for no power. How would you say it has a full charge? 满电？

May 4, 2008 at 8:51 AM谢谢lujiaojie! 听完了今天的课我本来想问在中国哪里可以回收报纸，白纸，瓶子，罐(guan4 - Coke cans?)等等。我住的地方附近应该有这样的人，我下次出门时要仔细注意! 谢谢John和Jenny把修家电的人喊的话翻译成更清楚的普通话。我一直听不懂他们在说什么，以为他们在说方言。应该是因为他们的口音很重所以我听不清楚。
