January 23, 2008 at 5:52 PMYes, please do a lesson focusing on the infamous 3rd tone! That thing can be tricky ecspecially when there are many of them in one sentence. Thanks!

January 11, 2008 at 8:54 PMXie xie Amber for answering my question about the squat toilet thing! Now I've heard 2 other ways to say toilet too. Jenny used the words "xi shou jian" in a lesson which means wash room. But i've also heard the word "cesuo". Anybody know what that one means and if it's commonly used?

January 27, 2008 at 7:13 PMthis is a great lesson. I like hearing the stuff that i can relate too in everyday scenerios. Thanks to Jenny for giving us insight into chinese culture. I think its important to know when and how to use words like feihua properly. I certainly would not want to offend anyone!
