August 30, 2007 at 12:32 AMJudging from the first wave of responses, I'm beginning to wonder if ANYONE other than John is going to get this one wrong. If no-one else does I suggest we all lord this over him for the next few weeks.

August 30, 2007 at 12:29 AM"horrific" jingle Bazza? Horrific??? Off-topic, but the morning after we recorded that masterpiece Ken came over and told me he woke up that morning with the song stuck in his head. I was humming it at the time.

August 27, 2007 at 5:01 AM@wildyaks, The dictionary and lesson content are currently coming from separate databases. We're working on integrating the backend lesson production system into the dictionary so that definitions, etc. are automatically updated as lessons are created.

August 25, 2007 at 4:12 AM@user45018 -- When you say "jen" in English, your tongue starts touching the roof of your mouth and sweeps downwards. When you say "ren" in mandarin, your tongue ALMOST touches the roof of your mouth, but is kept from closing by the air pushing its way out. This causes your tongue to quiver, adding the buzzing quality to the sound. I'm pretty sure this is called a "fricative" in linguistics, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

August 23, 2007 at 7:29 AMYeah I did.... but it turns out I was a week off. If my word is still worth anything, I can *guarantee* a film with an explosion next week. 坚持 Henning, 坚持....

August 23, 2007 at 4:12 AMI can't be sure, but I don't think there's a single explosion in this movie. New York makes an appearance though.

August 30, 2007 at 9:33 AMlol, Henning, and congrats chrka. I guess I should have said the film was in the top 10,000. As is, it looks like we either need harder films, or more of a challenge... Back on topic, Bill Murray is great in this film.
