March 8, 2008 at 3:23 PMJust wanted to second zhenfu's request for something on the visual arts. I ask for this every time I renew my subscription :–)

March 5, 2008 at 7:48 PMI'm a bit confused about the nomenclature nowadays, all the intermediates seem to be Upper, even though they're relatively easy. Is it just my Chinese getting better? (Do feel free to say Yes even if it's not true) At the risk of proving that it isn't, could we have the characters of Jenny's mnemonic. It threw me a bit listening to it. Btw love the new image Bazza! 花森

January 13, 2008 at 3:24 PMmayue I find the Oxford Starter Chinese dictionary is a useful volume to have. If you look up a noun, it gives you the noun and the appropriate measure word. Common sense I know but others don't seem to do it. The ABC sometimes gives you a mw (but in pinyin only with no character for some peculiar reason).

December 10, 2007 at 4:59 PMWhen I was struggling with making the leap from Ellie to Intermediate, I thought it would be useful to have some of the frequently used vocabulary that is used in explaining the dialogues in Chinese. The words that Jenny uses habitually. I know most of them now, but for someone who's where I was a year back it would give a bit more of a route through at the higher level, and save some time with the back button and a dictionary. Then again maybe doing it the hard way is good for the soul ;-)

December 4, 2007 at 1:03 PMWow, Bazza, you're in a very dark place today! Sounds like you're in need of reviewing the 'Father's advice to a heartbroken son' lesson. 别老想着她 (whoever she is).

November 21, 2007 at 5:59 PMMust say Bazza I quite like not having the full translation for intermediates. Although I find I'm often slightly in the dark on the second run through the dialogue, I find that after studying the pdf, it really sticks when I listen through to the lesson a second time. Incidentally what a great expression 怀念 is. Sums up perfectly how I feel about Beijing.

November 18, 2007 at 3:41 PMThanks claygroup but yes, I figured out how to get to this page (otherwise I wouldn't be here ;-) ). My problem is that once I get here there isn't actually a download button, even though it says that there should be in the 'How do I use this?' page. Is this something to do with my subscription? Or my computer? Or what?
