Vocabu-Suck

I recently downloaded a Mandarin vocabulary-building audio tutorial from i-Tunes called "Vocabu-Learn." It's almost hilarious in its crapitude.

The "lesson" consists of a monotone voice reading an entirely random list of words while a woman repeats them in Chinese. Canned classical music plays in the background giving the whole track a surreal David Lynch vibe. This goes on non-stop for two and a half hours.

How random are the words? Random. Here's a sample in actual sequence:

The Peach
The Memory
The Polygamist
The Voyage

The polygamist? Huh?

I may suck at speaking, but I'll be awesome at Chinese Mad-Libs.
