June 3, 2008 at 7:58 AMThe following sentence from the Expansion section baffled me:
我的青春小鸟一去不回来。
I would have written this as:
我的青春是像一只小鸟一样飞走的,不回来
Is 青春小鸟 a fixed expression? "The little bird Youth"?
??

he will definately be delighted when you all of the sudden start conversing fluently in Mandarin with him. Pick a significant date, e.g. his birthday in 8 years*.
Just teasing. I bet he will be equally delighted if you can carry on a basic conversation by this Christmas. And you came to the best possible place to learn this fun language.
Welcome!
:)
* Don't underestimate how time flies. Mark that date in 8 years. Seriously.

Sorry everybody for the off topic, off-newbie discussion.
On topic: my wife prefers to be called 妻子 (qīzi). She dislikes the recently more popular 老婆 (lǎopó, short: LP)

Excercises for DA...what a great idea!
Maybe just a few fun & simple ones of the type "select the correct picture" or "mark the suitable audio".
E.g. "Who will put you in jail - 保安, 公安, 协管员, 城管" or "Which treatment hurts most?".
Add a little language learning & reinforcement twist...

June 5, 2008 at 9:53 AM谁是负责选择"相关课"的? 这个列表到底是不是自动性挖出而来的? 因为大多数都是初级, 菜鸟级的课, 而且主题而言好像没有如何的联系。
我的建议是同性恋亚文化
除了这个意外我觉得今天的课很好玩儿, 谢谢你们!
