I'm with you LordStanley, I managed to shield my daughter from the lions for 18 years now, but she is true to the Pistons, Red Wings, and Tigers. The Lions don't just need a new manager, they need a new owner.

Hey Clay, thanks for such an honor...and an education. 我一边受教育，一边受光荣。(maybe it wasn't such an honor as it came out of a mistake I made). But really, you guys deserve the credit/honor. Thanks once again for such a quick response. I like the way you have taken the you...you... pattern and followed it up with yibian... yibian...,deepening our education.

Thank You longdehua, I know I didn't ask the question, but learning how to convert to traditional characters easily was helpful....I figured I had to go up into international and switch things, but your way was a lot easier than that.

犹太人有 peh' peh' peh'. They all seem to be aspirations...trying to get/keep out that bad/evil vibe.

Learning and laughing, nothing better。 又学又笑， 比不上。 说的对吗？ Even if I didn't say it right, its pretty much true. 谢谢个位， 这门课很好玩。

I think da1pei4 is 搭配, as in pairing or matched set. So a fixed matched phrase for the whole thing.

Chand, RJ, stick with it, it comes in waves and it does get better. Supplement ChinesePod with other Chinese language sources, if not movies, newscasts that you listen to in both English and Chinese, simple little songs that you can find the lyrics to help you through. 1.5 years is not a long time, and as other posts have noted,this is a very difficult language to learn. 千 里 之 行 ， 始 于 足 下.
