I managed to get CCTV on http://wwitv.com/ once a couple of days ago, but it doesn't seem to work now. I tried VLC (see above) but can't get that working either.

How is it going your Chinese?

See you!

I’ve learned that since I made the movie (it’s almost a year old now :-o) – 吗 is generally used for questions that can be answered yes or no – so “What is your name – yes or no?” doesn’t really make sense.

Thank you for pointing it out – I would hate to contribute to other people making the same mistake >_<

Great post! It's a good program.</p> <p>By the way your sentence has a little mistake. When you use (shenme) you don't put (ma) at the end. "Shenme" already works as a question word.</p> <p>Good luck!</p> Hi! Great post! It’s a good program.

By the way your sentence has a little mistake. When you use (shenme) you don’t put (ma) at the end. “Shenme” already works as a question word.

Good luck!
