April 9, 2008 at 2:10 AMoh jenny, your fears usually seem to be nothing but great adventures haha... and you guys should totally have a shop where you can buy shirts and such cuz, ya know, premium access is kinda outta the 做最低工资的工作的中学生, 靠奖学金过生日的大学生price range (going from one to the other for me haha)... and i do wanna contribute a bit more than my free subscription to Chinesepod - with at least the free advertising you guys would get... plus, it looks rather shcnazzy

February 6, 2008 at 4:36 AM中国有什么放鞭炮的法律? 我住在ST. LOUIS, 比较大的城市 - 在市内, 连七月四号 也不能方鞭炮 (当然大家还要放鞭炮)..中国的大都市跟美国的一样吗? i know from visiting gardens and stuff in China that safety rules are much different than ones in America (where even in Chinese gardens, they never let you climb on rocks and such like they do in China), but like John said - fireworks are dangerous... 对了, 我的中文的语法对不对? 谢谢大家

November 27, 2007 at 5:47 AMhey all... this is my first advanced lesson - i usually bounce between reg and upper intermediate, but i understood maybe 35 - 45% of this lesson... does anyone have any advice on whether it's better to just focus on one level or bounce around like i do... im not a big nba fan, but i like the lesson - thanks for the topics us 'crappy teenagers' (as my aunt says) have some background knowledge in

June 27, 2008 at 7:05 AMwell timely lesson addition on this one... some sort of medical treatment seems to be in order - major trampoline incident last night's got my back feeling like a donkey kicked my midney... but speaking of trampolines, i think an olympic tramp event lesson would be in order... get us familiar with an up-and-coming sport - as well as the only sport im really interested in... i think this year the crew from portugal will take the medal by the way - though that girl from georgia is quite fancy on the mat, so who knows... anyone else here interested in the art of skillful trampolinage?
