June 23, 2010 at 10:29 AMCan someone throw up some more vocab. I have learned a bunch, but don't know how to write it. Things like, header, corner kick, off sides, etc. There is so much vocab that is specific to futball and sports in general. And, yes, 冰球 is only for ice hockey. I live in Beijing and we play here. I don't know what field hockey or roller hockey is called, any one? And, BTW--Go 美国！！！

September 9, 2009 at 1:50 AMAs murdocke23 noted, the standard is one space after a period. The mis-information that one should use two spaces after a period is a nightmare for editors. :-)
Another note on periods. Periods (and other punctuation marks) always go inside of quotation marks. Example: Bob said, "Go to the store." or Jane said, "What are you doing?"

The Buddha's hand is a citrus, you are correct. It is called 佛手 in Chinese medicine and is used primarily for digestive problems. It is one of my favorites.

January 13, 2011 at 11:08 AM你好ChinesePod队，
感谢你们弄这种课, 不过我的水平比这节课有一点儿高。我住在北京三年了。在北京冰球越来越通俗。小儿队是二十多，大人队几乎十个。我们外国人有六个队。我们常去国外打比赛， 在盲谷，曼谷，等等。每一个星期一我们最好的外国人和一个最好的中国人队打一个比赛。所以我希望你们可以做一节课用冰球的特词汇， 比如offsides, pass, icing, slapshot, elbowing, 什么的。
谢谢，
林青阳
