July 30, 2008 at 2:30 AMAll you guys so irritable about the number of Newbie lessons might want to stop and give thanks to the Newbies because they keep the site alive for the intermediates, high intermed, and advanced students. Without Newbies, we might not be here at all.
As for Cantonese, I'm looking forward to something once a week called Cantoneasy. I could use a bit of Cantonese pronunciation and vocab to supplement my conversations in Chinatowns in the U.S.
Yes, I too want more intermediate lessons, but I've learned to supplement the CPod lessons with other things--such as watching Chinese movies. Not a heavy lift.

July 28, 2008 at 2:26 AMThis is a really nice package. I don't usually pay a lot of attention to Elementary lessons, but I'm really glad I checked this one out. Thanks.

July 23, 2008 at 9:02 PMThis is becoming a [bad] habit, but here's another off-topic question. How do you say the equivalent of "I just hit the wall"?
I went up onto the Forum to ask this question, but a spammer has eaten the entire site. In addition, while I was not paying attention to the forum, someone locked all the threads I wanted to check or participate in. (I didn't think I was gone that long.)
Anyway, I'm hoping that someone is online at this moment who might know the answer to my original question.
Sorry about the off-topicality, and thanks for any help.

July 23, 2008 at 1:12 AMAh, the perfect lesson for someone who just ate a quarter of a bag of Dutch soft licorice this afternoon. Definitely not touchi. That bag sits on my desk completely open to prying--or hungry--eyes.

July 18, 2008 at 7:41 PMOfftrack warning. Maybe.
Has Qingwen, or any other part of CPod, already done [VERB] de chu1lai2, bu chu1lai2 and [VERB] de qi2lai2, bu qi2lai2? When I've searched, I come up empty-handed.
If Cpod hasn't yet done these verb modifiers, could you guys do so? It is one of the most confusing aspects (for me) of speaking Mandarin.

July 3, 2008 at 1:38 AMIf I ever had any doubt, now I'm sure--no HSK, not now, not ever.
Posted on: Ending your sentence with 啊 & 呀 (a & ya)
July 3, 2008 at 12:30 AMFrances--perhaps the movie was Taiwanese? Taiwanese men use a, ya, etc much more than mainland men.

July 31, 2008 at 1:17 AMAh, a subject after my own heart. Hardware stores and stationery stores are my second most favorite types of stores. Book stores are my zui hao de.
