this was a fun lesson. if you can tell someone "too expensive, no thanks" you are pretty much set to bargain in that country. :P

以往因為把英文的諺語弄錯了﹐台灣人以為蘋果是仙丹甚至於醫生規­定了它。

[chineselessons]

吃了可以長生不老 :-)

[SomethingArtistic]

哈哈哈，每一次是那样的。你说"太贵了，我去别的地方"然后他们­，"等一下等一下！" 很可笑。随意我也很喜欢买东西。在美国没意思，但在中国是个好玩­儿的游戏。：）

[yoka955]

zhege duihua zhen bucuo. wo mingbai le.

[linguist786]

Is this right? (I think this is what she said):

(ni) ke bu ke yi pian yi yi dianr

(Can you not make it a little cheaper)

Is "pian yi" being used as a verb here?

[x38four]

yes

[possiblebulletwound]

as if you would pay that much for one apple.

[Gyrkin]

I love learning languages, but can't help but to post "You do and you'll clean it up!"

If you want people to go to the site, perhaps some text with the URL would be helpful?

[chineselessons]

The Web address in there right in the video! :-)

[chineselessons]

What do you mean? How long who has been speaking?:-D

[kaoruneko16]

how long has he been speaking?

[chineselessons]

I put this "fake" price on purpose. Because it's too expensive, you will remember the information in this video better. It's a trick.

Happy New 2007 to everybody!!!

[forestbird42]

A fresh apple in TW whould cost no more than 20 nt. Sounds like yee got ripped chineselesson 3

She reminds me so much of my own chinese teacher ^^

Xiexie!! for these cool vids =)

[hiphop242]

Easy to understand for beginners. However, I suggest you do subtitles. Pinyin would be great.
