April 19, 2017 at 8:56 PMI was (am) shocked to find the following example in this lesson for students of Chinese Pod to study.
打在孩子身上。
Hit the kid.
dǎ zài háizi shēnshàng。
This example should be deleted. It sends the wrong message.There is no context...and no reason for students to learn this sentence...the world is weird enough without Newbies saying "Hit the kid" running around.
