Kong Yi, I came to China in September 2009, I met a guy in the Beijing airport (before making my flight to Hefei), and your picture reminded me of him, then I clicked and I saw you also were Australian.

I repeatedly have trouble with the recording messing up if I try to back it up, not every time or even most times, but it seems to be an ongoing problem. Does anyone else have problems with the recording messing up if you back it up to hear something again?

Kong Yi, did I run into you in an airport when I first came to China?

Anyway, I look up "guo' in an online dictionary but am not completely sure which one it is, if any.

I believe I don't have access to that at my subscription level.

Which word did Jenny say was commonly used for (satellite) dish? I had trouble looking it up.

I have a question not immediately related to this particular lesson: I really love to use chinesepod for studying oral Mandarin, is their a program or website of similar quality for studying the characters? I would really like to find a program which both shows me the correct stroke order, shows me the pinyin (and English meaning of course), and lets me trace out the characters using my cursor (and if it sounds out the pronunciation that would also be a plus), rather than having to use a bunch of paper or use a booklet.
