roddy Posted March 17, 2017 at 09:21 AM Report Posted March 17, 2017 at 09:21 AM I see your point Lu, but the OP's registered under his business name, and it's an entirely reasonable assumption that the podcasts are promoting the business. It's not massively surprising if people take a closer look at it, and frankly the claims invite scepticism.
lips Posted March 17, 2017 at 11:34 AM Report Posted March 17, 2017 at 11:34 AM I do agree though, checking the dictionary while speaking to people is not a good way of learning a language (or anything else). 1

My question was designed to enable you to leave no-one in any doubt. Nothing you've said subsequently allays that doubt. 7 hours ago, ChineseTalkeze said: Here's my reply to your request: No. Your request and language are so offensive and disrespectful disrespectful judgemental unethical disrespectful cyberbullying discriminate They do say the best form of defence is attack. That looks to me like an evasion rather than an answer. Points 3 and 4 are mere self-indulgence. It would be self-indulgent of me in turn if I responded to them as they deserve. I think we have the measure of you. Your overreaction to reasonable scepticism speaks volumes. If you can't cope with scepticism - and clearly you can't - you need to find a less critical audience. 2
