December 24, 2014 at 8:20 AM胡夏 - 同桌的你 明天你是否会想起 昨天你写的日记 明天你是否还惦记 曾经最爱哭的你 老师们都已想不起 猜不出问题的你 我也是偶然翻相片 才想起同桌的你 谁娶了多愁善感的你 谁看了你的日记 谁把你的长发盘起 谁给你做的嫁衣 你从前总是很小心 问我借半块橡皮 你也曾无意中说起 喜欢跟我在一起 那时候天总是很蓝 日子总过得太慢 你总说毕业遥遥无期 转眼就各奔东西 谁遇到多愁善感的你 谁安慰爱哭的你 谁看了我给你写的信 谁把它丢在风里 从前的日子都远去 我也会有我的妻 我也会给她看相片 给她讲同桌的你 谁娶了多愁善感的你 谁安慰爱哭的你 谁把你的长发盘起 谁给你做的嫁衣 谁娶了多愁善感的你 谁安慰爱哭的你 谁把你的长发盘起 谁给你做的嫁衣 啦~~~~~~~~ 胡夏 - 同桌的你 词：高晓松 曲：高晓松 同桌的你(电影《同桌的妳》片尾主题曲

December 24, 2014 at 8:07 AM56 thanks for extra words! But actually I'm here to report a problem : we are promised a song at the end of the lesson, but the end comes right after the announcement! The song got lost along the way. Guess it would be good to fix that. On the Android app.

November 30, 2014 at 10:33 AMYeah the lesson audio seems to be cut off in the middle of a sentence, at least in my Android app. Haven't tried the web version yet.
Posted on: Using "avoid": 省得 (shěngdé) vs 以免 (yǐmiǎn)
October 16, 2014 at 9:45 AMMy favourite kind of lesson - explaining the nuances you won't find in a dictionary! One question though: you guys seem to pronounce the second part of 免得 and 省的 with the second tone, but my dictionary has it as neutral. Could you guys comment on that please?

October 1, 2014 at 10:30 AMI love those storyline twists in Chinesepod dialogues! It adds so much fun and the intensity of feelings makes expressions easier to remember. Thanks guys!

September 29, 2014 at 1:24 PMThat 热得快 is a bit different from what we used to have in the Soviet Union. Ours had a curve near the handle so you could hang it over the edge of your glass. Some people still carry one when they travel, because, unlike China, in that region it's not common for hotels to provide you with water boilers or hot water. I also had a huge one in India that I used for warming up a bucket of water for my shower. Too bad I still don't know a proper English name for that useful thingy.

September 29, 2014 at 1:04 PMI think Chinesepod is about spoken language first of all, and if you are really immersed in Chinese life with Chinese people you might end up talking about anything. I think this is all daily life stuff, highly useful IMHO.

September 16, 2014 at 6:29 AMI'm for spelling out pinyin for the Intermediate level, it was very helpful when I just started it and was listening without looking at the screen, like when doing something. Right now I don't really need it anymore but I'd say let's keep it for other new students.
I also think it's very important to give a few possible translations for every Chinese word. Every word has a range of meanings rather than a single one, and the extent that range overlaps with possible meanings of a corresponding English word varies a lot. And let's not forget that not all poddies are native English speakers.
Same thing for the context, I don't think there should be less of it. For instance, I've never been to a campus cafeteria where people use cards. Don't underestimate the diversity of listeners here.
