A question to all my fellow students at the CLO..
Why don´t you take part in the audio furum??
It could be a great chance for us to practice without stress and to hear others doing our own mistakes:-)
Is it to hard? To easy?
You can start by posting pinyin, but if nothing at all happens, I fear that Adam will skip this option.. Wouldn´t that be a pity? What do you say?
zai jian!

Thanks Bo, I agree with you! I’ve had the pleasure of working with some listeners on a one on one basis recently, which has given me some insight on what areas some listeners may need help on. I’m hoping the Pong Audio forum can be used to address some of these issues, but like you said, it needs to be used for it to be effective. I’ll keep releasing tasks as long as you provide me with answers.

The dialogue in this Premium Podcast is quite amusing. Kirin did a convincing job as the accusing girlfriend. I would hate to get caught in a fib with her! Of course, Raphael handled himself like a champ. But what’s going to happen when Kirin finds out that Raphael doesn’t really have a twin 弟弟 ???

Haha, yeah I’ve encouraged the speakers to have more fun with the lessons as shown here. I’m looking forward to seeing how the video turns out!

I believe the word fan in “mafan” as in “Ni nán péngyou máfán dà le.” should have no tone.
It should be ma2fan5 and not ma2fan2.

Thanks Luqman, we’ve fixed it now!
