May 6, 2014 at 8:59 PMHelp! I can't print out the second Expansion page. I use these to memorize the sentences. Only 6 of the 12 sentences printed. Can someone fix that?

April 22, 2014 at 9:33 PMThanks! I have another request. In future new lessons, can you keep the Kuo4 zhang1 sentences shorter without so many new (for me, at least) words? In earlier lessons, they are usually shorter using mostly common words (at least common to me). I memorize the kuo4 zhang1 for my lesson with my teacher and usually have to learn maybe 6 words in the entire kuo4 zhang1. For this lesson, I did not know over 20 of them--too many to learn when I am trying to practice using the vocabulary words of the lesson and memorize 15 sentences. And, six of the ju4zi are extremely long and really tough for me to memorize (maybe because I am a lao3 nian2 ren2). The memorizing of the kuo4 zhang1 helps me learn the sentence structure as well as cement the vocabulary. You kept the grammar sentences short as usual which helps. I don't know how other Poddies feel. Maybe it is just me because I do not live in China and am almost in my 7th decade... If I am alone in this request, please ignore me as those who live in China have a more pressing need to learn.

April 20, 2014 at 9:33 PMInteresting lesson! Please fix exercises. The dictation only shows the answers in Simplified characters, not Pinyin, so it is always wrong. I do have it set for Pinyin.

November 29, 2013 at 9:00 PMOnce again in the grammar section, not all the sentences have sound. I can't get any of them for jiù to work.

November 21, 2013 at 12:02 AMGee, I hope not. I love my lessons. It only has been recently that this has been happening. The strange thing is that some of the arrows work while others on the same page do not. When this happened in another lesson, someone from Chinesepod fixed it right away.

November 18, 2013 at 3:07 AMHelp! In the grammar exercises, when I click on most of the arrows, nothing happens. A few sentences in the first section (bǎ) work, but the rest do not.

May 8, 2014 at 1:37 AMTried that. Doesn't work. The second page and thus 1/2 the sentences will not print. I have never had a problem before, and I have printed out over 100 lesson kuò zhāng.
