While you were cracking the spine on that Kangxi dictionary in grad school, your younger brother was hitting the gym. Twice a day even. So does it matter that he can't tell the difference between the first and fourth tone? Or straighten his arms? With his brawn and your brain the two of you are an unstoppable force for good. And you're getting filthy rich in the process too.That said, despite the fact that David spent a curious amount of time hunting down the photo accompanying this lesson, we're really not sure what to make of it. And we actually had a debate in house over whether it is inappropriately homophobic or homoerotic, which is something you'll have to decide. Brendan summarized our own feelings with his comment that, "I don't know what this dialogue is save strange...." So consider this a little gift from Popup Chinese: the best place online for learning Chinese and getting weirded out in the process.

That's a really freaky photo. Especially the resized smaller one on the page that lists all of the lessons. Don't look unless you like being disturbed.
The last minute or so of the podcast is blank, by the way. Reupload?

I take full blame for the photo, which is a bit creepy in retrospect. :) The full mp3 should be uploaded btw. Thanks guys.

Blame? I strong approve of your new site direction. More lessons like this please. Or more lesson photos like this at least. At all levels.

Like the objectionable song that gets stuck in your head, vocab accompanying lessons like this seem to self etch into my memory. With PPC's pioneering methods I will both master my Chinese vocab and likely suffer minor mental defect in the process.
