But I'd like to make a few comments: 1) I think there needs to be a LITTLE more time during the main lessons for repeating the words. 2) In the final review, it would be nice to have ALL of the constructions discussed reviewed: On a few of them, only the primary grammar point was reviewed. 3) Sometimes you say "Falling Tone", but it SOUNDS falling-rising: Is that more because you're rising intonation a little to imply "See? Like this?" 4) I do love your hosting, but it could help me out to hear the same words spoken by a second voice... perhaps a male voice? It doesn't need to be a "teamwork podcast" like JPod or anything, but having a second set of vocal cords doing the same words will help really establish the sound... 5) Perhaps every 5-10 lessons, you could release a "summary podcast" with all of the learning to date in it for review? That way I can review 10 lessons in 5 minutes rather than the 40 it takes to go through 10 podcasts. Thanks! Keep up the good work. Love the lessons… But I’d like to make a few comments:
