Hi Eileen, Needed a little more debugging - seems that the links are only broken when I'm viewing the 'dialogue' of a lesson. The links work on the discussion, vocab, and other pages. I tried a few lessons and the problem seems the same (I looked at 'Flattery in the Office', 'Election Candidates' and 'Interview with the Boss')

Hi, it seems like on the new lesson pages, under the new 'Lesson Info' the links to related lessons (Topics and Functions) are broken. I'd like to suggest that you add a 'Chinesepod Recommends...' feature to each lesson page. For example on the recent lesson about praising the boss, you might list 2-3 highly related lessons. This would be a nice addition to searching for related lessons via topic and function, and promotes older lessons at the same time.

我夸你们:今天的课非常有用! I have two questions - in the following sentence from the dialogue, do you need to use 那儿? 这几年我们从您那儿学了不少东西 What's the difference without it? Maybe using it is a bit more formal/polite? When asking what time a shop closes, I often ask: 你们这儿几点关门?Is it the same principle? '拍马屁' is one of the best and most memorable phrases I've learned from Chinesepod - I know it's come up in several lessons. Can we use it like this if we want to say someone is always sucking up to the teacher/boss/etc? 我同学老是对老师拍马屁。 如果我们对Chinesepod常常拍马屁,会有什么好处呢?;)
