May 29, 2007 at 11:56 AMJohn, you mentioned that the lesson was a little long. The fifteen minute format seems right to me. It meant you could go through the whole dialogue. Occasionally recently there's been a slightly breathless feel to some of the lessons as you've struggled to get it all in. I don't think it's a problem, it comes over as enthusiastic rather than frantic, but it was good to have a slightly more leisurely pace. Was the dialogue slightly less packed than usual, or was it just that it was a relatively easy one to follow?

June 13, 2007 at 12:51 PMAt the risk of bringing up that great imponderable of Chinese grammar, why is there a 了 in this sentence '跟你说再见了'? Equally in the last lesson on diet, I wondered why 突然发现原来自己这么胖 didn't have a 了。I thought that the speaker just catching on to a state of affairs was one of the classic usages.
