May 17, 2007 at 3:51 PMWe are on Lap 76 henning:) usr1 Keep pushing, learning a language is a life long trip:) Sounds like your doing well, you share a health variety of language experiences. Please note however 50 elementary lessons is not even half of what Cpod offers. Keep at them even if they seem easy, each lesson still has nuances that are helpful to learn. In addition, continue to reach into intermediate, and in my opinion, reach in upper intermediate. The more exposure the better. Please for the sake of our community refrain form pitting this unknown Chinese friend of yours against Jenny. Jenny has already proven herself to be in the upper deviation of the bell curve. For all the Cpod listeners know of this "friend" -they could be in the mean or ever a low deviation. Out of billion plus people, the variance is huge. A thought; there are 105 lessons to push students into the intermediate level. There are 41 upper intermediate lessons to push students into advance. On the language/marriage analogy, looks like we could use some more marriage material around here:) 加油

May 16, 2007 at 10:04 PMOne could think about and draw an analogy between language learning and marriage. For marriage to work, there is an necessity that both partners make an individual, down to earth, diamond hard commitment to that marriage. Adult language learning could be seen in the same way, for without that individual, down to earth, diamond hard commitment to learning the language of choice, the personal situation will run into difficulties and run the chance of never being quite fulfilling and/or dissolving altogether. Even with all the above mention qualities, there is still tons of hard work, tons of hard work to do for quality of life to be comfortable. The discussion about slowing down the intermediate lessons seems rather trite. For if a learner finds this level too challenging, that is alright. That is normal. This is just an indicator that the 288 newbie and elementary lessons have yet to be mastered.(and or the need for subscribing for practice with Cpod or a personal tutor or moving to China or need some more time or...) In other words, make sure you have healthy communication patterns with your significant other before making the final say for marriage. For if you're not married or at least committed to be married by the intermediate level, what are you doing? This talk about Jenny doing this, Jenny doing that. Lets us not forget what we have in Jenny. In my 14yrs of learning Chinese, I have met many Mandarin speakers and many Mandarin teachers. To my joy and utter amazement, Cpod managed to find a teacher that rivals all the Mandarin speakers I have met to date. Out of the worlds billion plus Mandarin speakers, our teacher, OUR TEACHER, is of pure quality and must fall in the upper quadrant of the bell curve. Please think about this in these terms a minute, there is no doubt we have an amazing teacher. But wait, let us not forget about John. A non-native Mandarin speaker, who has made commitment to move his life to China, and who has the courage to get in front of microphone on a daily basis and teach Mandarin to anyone who has an interest in the WORLD. (sry about the run-on sentence:) Think about want it takes to study and get a masters in linguistics, let alone doing it in CHINA. Please, trust these teachers. They are teachers of Mandarin to Mandarin learners as are Marriage and Family Therapists are to marriages. Thats my two cents worth. Rock on Cpod.

May 16, 2007 at 4:28 AMLantian- I guess the listening test is your vocab test. The variance of meaning between listening test and vocab test is rather big to me:) Lantian if I am sensing correctly that your a bit down with the Mandarin thing-shake if off big guy. Take a look at all the posts you have put up on Cpod. Just the volume of Mandarin that you have written on Cpod shows your aptitude for learning. Fight on! The 藍天 is the limit. 饅頭

On the language/marriage analogy, looks like we could use some more marriage material around here:) 加油" 真巧,我們不僅得到了中高級新客材,而且客材也關於婚嫁. :) Rock on Cpod!
