    I just wanted to drop a quick line and tell you guys how much I am enjoying these level 3 lessons. They are very well done. I think you’ve done an outstanding job of integrating previously words into the conversations while at the same time reusing previously learned words both in new ways and as review. I really like this new approach. It’s as though you’re forcing us to venture forth on our own a bit while at the same time making sure we don’t get completely overwhelmed. Ji4xu4 jia1you2!

  2. Thanks Bryan. There’s a delicate balance required between establishing a comfort level while still aiming to push the envelope so to speak, from one level to the next. User feedback like this tells us if we are on the right path so keep your comments coming.

    I second Bryan’s input. Good job, Adam et al! 🙂

    Question:

    These two lines don’t seem to correspond exactly. Help me out here, I get lost after the “women zai…” part, in the simplified line.

    Kirin: Huānyíng láidào wǒmen gèng jìn yí bù de Zhōngwén xuéxí kèchéng .

    Kirin: 欢迎来到我们在台湾更进一步的中文学习课程.

  4. Hmm, it looks like we used “na2” prematurely here. It actually means “to take.” It gets taught in lesson 129. So the sentence literally means: “You can help me grasp newspaper take give father?”

    By the way, in cases like this, you can click on the word or character in the complete transcript which will then perform a search for it in the word bank to tell you what it means and what lesson it was introduced in. The search is a lot more accurate if you click on the Chinese character equivalent, since the pinyin search will also return other words with the same pinyin spellings.

    Adam,

    I found that the simplified character for “o” in “Xia ci zai jian o” differs in this lesson from that of lesson 122 (simplified pdf scripts). I think the correct character is the one in lesson 122. Just wanted to let you know.

    Yes, this is suddenly getting a little fast (Raphael) but not always (Kirin). Any way, the present translation for 你可以帮忙我把报纸拿给爸爸吗? given in the Listen section is incorrect, could it be corrected please? As you say above, Adam, there is reference to “my” father which needs to be included.

      I changed the translation for the popup text. I haven’t changed what is actually being said in the lesson since that would require rerecording it.
      I think it’s fine since there’s a bit of nuance to this translation. In Chinese there are many instances where “help me do” is another way of asking someone to “do for me.” So I’ll leave the recording as it is but I’ve changed the popup translation in the transcript to match your suggestion.
