Thanks for the recommendation. Like many other Chrome extensions, Language Reactor is doing to be disabled soon from Chrome because it hasn't been updated to use Manifest V3. If the developers don't update the plugin, do you have any suggestions for alternatives, or maybe is Skritter working on something better?
My father is from Fujian, my mother is from Guangdong so naturally I grew up with the combination of these two types of food. Dim sum and sticky rice are favorites of mine.
ah these videos and your app are great. i felt something unlock in my brain and with half of these i was like "yes. of course it would mean that!" thank you so much!
In order to improve my Chinese listening skills, there is now tons of material on every level on RU-vid. In your opinion, is it more efficient to listen to ten different videos and only understand 10% to 50% for each different video, or, listening 10 times listening to the same video in order to get 99% to of the content?

Thanks for this great video! Are 油面 and 莜面 the same type of 面 ? I'm used to see 莜面 but those are quite different from those shown in the illustration in the video. 莜面 are made of oat and they are light-brown in color. As for the the shape, it's typically small rolls placed vertically in a steam basket, but there are many variants. Those "noodles" (I admit the shape is rarely 'noodle-like') are frequently served in an area between Shanxi and Inner Mongolia. I also love 钢丝面, I really think an italian would like them for being 'al dente'.
For anyone who's curious and/or who noticed a difference between how Iona pronounced 微風/微风/gentle breeze @7:30 compared with the on-screen pronunciation text (wēifēng): It's a regional difference in the Standard Mandarin pronunciation of 微 . In Taiwan, 微 is pronounced wéi (2nd tone). In mainland China, 微 is pronounced wēi (1st tone). The on-screen text showed the mainland pronunciation (1st tone for 微). Iona pronounced it the Taiwan way (2nd tone for 微), which makes sense as she is from Taiwan and they are based in Taiwan.
Good video，I'd head 毛毛雨 before but hadn't really registered its meaning until this video. A very small thing I know but I have to say I've never heard anyone (from the UK) say "thunder strike" before, it doesn't really make sense. For thunder we would say "thunder clap". Strike is for "lightning strike". I think the comparison to English here isn't really necessary anyway, 打 is already pretty vivid so I think it can speak for itself when coupled with 雷.
That’s a quote from Monty python. You wouldn’t say that it Chinese unless trying to quote the show. In that case, you could try saying: 这里热得可以把猴子的屁股煮熟了 (Zhèlǐ rè de kěyǐ bǎ hóuzi de pìgu zhǔ shú le)
Hi, Fiona. I was just watching some old Chinesepod videos downloaded to my old phone several years ago. They stranglely dont exist on youtube anymore. I understand you guys left but even your old videos are gone from the channel. I really preferred you and Guillam's teaching style. Right now the oldest video they have public on their channel is from 6 years ago. Its like you guys were never there. Why are they gatekeeping your awesomeness and is there somewhere else we can see the old videos? If I'd known they were going to be erased I would have downloaded more Fiona and Guillam videos before they dissappear.
