Does your premium lessons come with characters or just pin yin? I like what you did with lesson 145. Putting it all in Chinese is great listening practice. Will the fourth level have more of these? I’ve been to every Chinese learning site and so far you are the only one who is doing it right.
Thanks for the great lessons,
David

Hi David,
Thanks for the compliment. You may have noticed us alternating between lessons focusing around a dialog like we have in the past, or these new “discussion” lessons. The latter lessons are shorter but focus a lot more on reviewing older vocabulary so there will be a mix of both types from here on.
There’s certainly a heavy emphasis on characters for the Premium lessons and complete transcripts. You can take a look at the samples for lesson 124:
