Love this song, but when I click on the "Click here" place to listen, it tells me it is illegal.  What gives???  I know this KTV is old, but I liked the song in 2013 and wanted to hear it again.....

Thank you for giving the literal meaning of so many of the words.  Since I am learning from Pinyin only (way too old to begin learning hanzi--70) this is the way I remember and recognize words.  VERY useful.  Please, give literal meanings whenever you can.  I really appreciate it.  It helps me even figure out what the Mandarin is for words I don't know!

Ni keyi bang wo ma??  I tried to print the Expansion, and only got one page.  I looked again at the Expansion and found there are 9 sentences.  Are there more?  How do I get it to print??  Usually, I have no problem doing so.

Also, I wanted to tell you how wonderful this lesson was.  As a teacher myself (English, French, Taiji), I know how important humor is.  I laughed all the way through the dialogue and understood more the first time than I do with other lessons because I can see your mouths and facial expressions.  Oh, and thank you for putting the Pinyin as well as the hanzi on the screen. Really helps!

Great lesson, thanks.  Love the video and being able to see the words both in character and Pinyin!!

Love the new format.  Full screen is wonderful as I can see the lips pronouncing the words.  But, can you also put the Pinyin as well as the hanzi in the vocabulary that you show on the screen???  That is terrific--seeing vocab as you talk about the dui hua.  I know students who live in China need to learn the characters, but some of us are over 65 and study with Chinesepod in our own countries in order to keep our brains active.  We are laonianren who, with our slower learning curve, find learning the characters too difficult no matter how smart we are. Having the Pinyin as well as the characters would be a BIG help!!!

Am using Firefox.  I just logged in, and it works just fine.  It was only this lesson.  Thanks for responding so quickly.  Now I have no excuse not to study... (LOL)

Please fix this lesson so I can study it for my Chinesepod lesson next Tuesday!!!  I cannot access anything except the Discussion.  When I click on Vocabulary or Dialogue or Expansion, I still get Discussion.  HELP!!!!

Don't like the new music either, but then I am hěn lǎo nián rén.  I find the music obtrusive, but it is the lessons I'm interested in, not the music.  I know most Chinesepoddies are young, so please their tastes.
