Even deep in his pockets, Adam's fingers were shaking uncontrollably. His anxiety had already reached the point where others were noticing his chattering teeth, and was only increasing with each minute that brought them closer to the drop zone. Above the steady drone of the plane engines, Adam could hear the whispered remarks of his peers, and feel their sidewards glances. Would he lose control when the time came? Would he endanger the mission?As an aside, many of you have written us asking how we come up with such unique dialogues. In this lesson we finally spill the beans about our creative secret. If you've ever wondered who the creative genius is behind our approach to language learning, listen in and get the inside scoop. Enjoy!

I'm really happy to see this dialogue come to fruition. I feel like I am having this conversation in my head every time I fly Chinese domestic airlines.

Can you say 是我亲耳听的 I heard it with my own ears? Or does it only work with 手,眼,and 口?

@questioner,
Yes, you can use 亲耳 too, although the sentence should be 是我亲耳听到的(in order to emphasize the tense and the result).
