It is easier to match actors and actresses if you use their names. In this case Hai Qing (海清 - you can see her name at the top of the poster) played both 海平 and 毛豆豆. I was just in second semester Chinese when Dwelling Narrowness was playing 1 1/2 years ago, and I only watched a little at my teacher's suggestion. I didn't recognize Hai Qing until episode 2 of ABDiLE, but I blame the passage of time for that.Popshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18241311179324583983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097293516411888153.post-80539810805965344312010-06-09T13:55:12.263-05:002010-06-09T13:55:12.263-05:00Thank you, Mark!Thank you, Mark!Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06085529176356489372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097293516411888153.post-19097554088824881192010-06-06T09:25:08.848-05:002010-06-06T09:25:08.848-05:00@Vivian - It's hard for me to say which Americ...@Vivian - It's hard for me to say which American shows can help you best. For one thing, I haven't been watching many American shows recently. I've instead been plowing through Chinese ones!<br /><br />The show it seems everyone Chinese person I spoke with had seen was "Friends." That's really old now. I'm not sure there is a contemporary equivalent.<br /><br />I'm sorry I don't have any better advice for you.<br /><br />@mouseneb - Enjoy 蜗居. It's really a fun show to watch. 手机 is good, but the language is quite a bit harder. It's inspiring me to start formally studying again. So maybe that's a good thing!<br /><br />You are right. That is 海平, not 海藻. Mistake on my part! I really like 毛豆豆/海平 in this new show. She's lovely. In 蜗居, she was a difficult character to like.<br /><br />Thanks on the recommendation for Vivan!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00967364257656897151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097293516411888153.post-10612014502139183572010-06-03T22:46:43.059-05:002010-06-03T22:46:43.059-05:00We're about 2/3rds finished with 蜗居.

I had heard from a student that 手机 was really excellent and she's addicted to it at the moment, so I was considering that for my next one, but now I have a couple of others to think about as well! Thanks. Oh, btw, isn't that Haiping (the older sister)in 媳妇的美好时代, not Haizao?<br /><br />Vivian: try Lie to Me. A lot of my students loved it, and so did I!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097293516411888153.post-38723210135304220712010-06-03T22:37:59.664-05:002010-06-03T22:37:59.664-05:00I'm finished with 《手机》,it's a good one.

Because I've been U.S. for almost 4 years, I still feel like I have huge barriers with communication here, and I'm always wondering can I ever improve my English? Tips for speaking English please.
