You can say 英式橄榄球/Yīngshìgǎnlǎnqiú/literally British style rugby to mean rugby and 美式橄榄球/Měishì gǎnlǎnqiú/American style "rugby" to mean American football.

Jiaojie re-recorded the expansion sentences. The voice actor was an intern doing his masters in Teaching Chinese as a Second Language in Fudan University. Looks great on paper, but didn't really work out in real life.

It sounds like “炒”?I was saying“长宁". Maybe because I was laughing which distorted the pronunciation.

A few years ago, there were professional "pushers" at subway stations and bus stops to push passengers into the car to make sure eveyone is packed in.

你肯定是很爱看书的人。Kindle seems to give a lot of reading pleasure.

I don't think Kindle is very popular in China. Not sure if Amazon even promoted it. There are many e-book readers in China. But most Chinese don't pay for e-books because there is an abundance of free pirated e-books on the market.

I am curious about what extra features/perks does a Kindle get you that the Kindle iPad app doesn't?
