Chinese Humour and the Death of Crosstalk

[querido]

I regret that my commentary wouldn't fit in here, and I shouldn't spend the time to write it anyway. But the good news is that a government even just pretending to have him function on the inside is in a state that's not as bad as it could be! I'll leave it at that. :-)

Of course, we should not be judging people.

Ministry of Censored Jokes? He can work there.

I found it amongst my late friends books I am cataloging. If anyone is interested, for the cost of the postage i would be happy to let someone make use of it.

 

It has dialogues at normal speed and then its slowed down from what I understand. There are 2 textbooks and 3 cassettes.

Just to bump this topic, I still have the copy of comic dialogues. I would like someone to make use of it. If being on cassette is putting anybody off, I can burn it on to CD, then someone would have the cds and the cassettes.

 

All I want is the postage, CD's free.
