Posted on: Not Feeling Well?
June 25, 2013 at 8:18 PMI'd like to discuss (again?) how do you say "how are you?" in Chinese.

June 10, 2013 at 8:14 PMThanks for the explanation, baba (you even answer a comment in a 6 month old lesson - pretty cool and impressive).
However, I still don't see any sense or efficiency in it ... sorry. But I keep on reading it, reading it, reading it ... (The Myth of Sisyphus).
But let me take the opportunity to tell you that I learned a lot from your other brilliant and funny comments, pictures and ideas - marvellous. And helps improving my English as well...

Posted on: Upgrading Software
August 6, 2013 at 9:11 PMI'm German and I'm very impressed how perfect your level of Chinese must be that you spend that much time and energy on discussing standard/non-standard English/American/Australian expressions that have - from my point of view - nothing to do with learning Chinese.
Personally I'm grateful whenever I learn - apart from the Chinese - some extra English/American slang/non-slang expressions.
Chinesepod rulez!
