Not knowing much about the place I found this on the internet. An interesting history. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/15/travel/moganshan-china-a-lofty-retreat-from-sweltering-shanghai.html?_r=0

The lack of consistency in sound level between dialogue, vocabulatary, expansion, etc. and even within these threatens my hearing since I usually listen to Chinesepod lessons using an earbud. I need to check, and not forget to do so, for each division and often forget.

I would like to be able to sign out using google chrome as a browser. I did download foxfire and can sign out there, but remain signed in in google. Is there no way to sign out?

On my laptop the ability to "mouse over" and see pinyin, etc. has been lost. Is this a function of the new formate or a problem with my laptop?

I am old enough to remember that there was an attempt to force me to use my right hand when age 10 or so. Once I had to stand in the corner outside the classroom in the hall as punshment for resisting a forced (bī) conversion to right-handness. Still angers me all these years later and make me wonder what my educators knew about child development.

The grammer link has a link to a causative complex section that is as yet not posted to the web. This apparently new addition to grammer instruction will be most welcome when it is up.

  This level is very useful to entrench known grammar that I probably could not as clearly explain to another person.

The Exercises are an essential part of the Chinesepod experience and learning. Depending of the level, I tackle them before the lesson (Elementary), or use them to refine my learning (Intermediate and Upper Intermediate). Just recently, I began tackling the Exercises first at the Intermediate level to show to my self that I am progressing. Please do not eliminate them and try to publish them simultaneously with the lesson. Thanks for listening. Thanks again to Right-Wingnut for all of his work with the transcripts too, since reviewing his work and others who contribute add to the learning experience.

Missing the Exercise section. I have found this section to be useful to consolidate learning. I hope that it has not been eliminated.
