I think you can add 位 as a measure word for people. question: if I go alone to a restaurant, and I am being asked by the 服务员: 几位? do I answer 一位 or 一个 or both are acceptable ?

I'd love to have like a little bit more Chinese words and expressions thrown in during the show. Like Jenny does.

@Frank, If you can't think of better people than "advanced learners" to help you learn Chinese then ... good for you ! With all the respect and consideration etc. that I have for John, Dave and Amber's Chinese level, I rely even more on Jennie and Connie. (Funny that sometimes I have to state so obvious things ...)

@executer my guess is that your guess is wrong : the huge majority of newbies don't use ChinePera-kun or anything similar. + if you see only one new Admin doesn't mean that there is only one new Admin: check other lessons. If I wish to see their picture and profile, it's to check: if they are locals their Chinese credentials. I am keen to have answers given by locals, not by intermediate or even advanced learners

sorry, Newbie here : 开玩笑 : kāi wán xiào : to joke; to make fun of; to play a joke means here : I am joking by the way, is it the proper way to say : I am joking or do I necessarily have to add 我[wǒ] I ? as in : 我开玩笑 wǒ kāi wán xiào I
