May 19, 2009 at 1:37 AMHi tage, "粉嫩嫩" can not be used to describe a bright red "连体衣" . You're right, "粉嫩嫩" is implying a pastel color! 你还可以说：粉嫩嫩的小脸--to talk about baby face.

May 18, 2009 at 8:12 AM@pinkjeans, correct! "这课程好着呢！" "着呢”，here is to indicate you are going to tell the reason why this lesson is excellent! "吃拖鞋饭" is same to "吃软饭", it is a saying usually appears in Hongkong movies! It's interesting! :)

May 18, 2009 at 7:50 AM@pinkjeans, 我们常常说 “小心烫着”，“你要热的还是凉的", 热饮 hot drinks, “烧” can be used to say or describe hot soup, food or drinks, but it is better to use “烫” and "热“。

May 18, 2009 at 2:41 AMHi paulinurus, thank you for pointing that out and we have met this kind of error before. Actually, we are working on this to fully optimize the system.
In the pinyin exercises, there may be a space in the middle! Pls try again to see, I think it may work! 谢谢！

May 19, 2009 at 5:56 AM@bodawei, same thing happened in my hometown, but it's weird to have "祝你生日快乐" play so fast!
