January 19, 2009 at 8:56 AMmy future wife does exactly the same as Hennings: using 成语 like crazy. I'm quite to read Pete here, because I wouldn't get the impression that they die out, when I listen to her. And amazingly, for every 成语, she knows the background story.

January 17, 2009 at 8:37 PMI took red bean paste in my hand luggage. Gave a bad time to the security officer, luckily, it was enough time, so I could check in my hand luggage as regular luggage. Would have been a pity for the 5kg I bought :)

i experimented a bit, and indeed,the content fits into 40 seconds (including the chinesepod starter)
As I like the idea of having a radical show I suggest, having the newbie vocab in the following animated form
- character writing + pronunciation,
- translation (and/or picture of the object)
- the very interesting morph from "learning at school" to "actual handwriting"
This would maybe not be funny, but useful.

I second and agree, as there are now even external tools to acchieve a decent flashcard functionality (like WLCP), cpod, please, adopt this and make them more useful.

August 8, 2008 at 1:47 PMwhat an ironic move of complaining for free internet and blocking countrys out of the stream. Doh!

Goethe okay, Shakespeare, okay, but the Bible does not belong in my quoting repertoire. :)
The difference is also that neither of them has such short quotes ;-)
