Good lesson.  I am getting to the point where I understand most of the new intermediate lessons coming out, though a lot of the upper intermediate lessons are a little too difficult.  Should I focus on the older intermediate lessons, which seem to be harder than the more recent ones?

wow i feel stupid....when i first got to beijing near tian an men square two girls approached me and wanted to practice english....i ended up sitting down for a cup of 1000 rmb tea....i was afraid to call the police at the time but i told them that we would split it 3 ways.....almost a year and a half later, i am glad it happened...i learned a lot from the experience, and it made me realize i was too naive and trusting......now i just speak to them in chinese or tell them im russian and dont speak english......

I live in Beijing and I hear both. The locals will use zan men....Though I hear wo men much more frequently because Beijing has a lot of people from other cities living and working here.....

totally agree.....pimsleur does great things for your speaking....but even after completing all 90 lessons you will be no where near fluent....rosetta is a great concept, but not much else....

I agree with that too John but I think if there was an exact recording it would give us a chance to hear if often since it is in everyday life and would maybe even help to use the chinese prompts rather than the english...

I think when i call china mobile they say "qing xuan ze ti shi yu yan, yi wei pu tong hua, for english press two." please choose a language prompt, 1 for mandarin, 2 for english....
