By my count, Jenny uses 期盼 three times and 期待 three times.

The 那 in 父母那(ㄦ) just indicates "(from) that (source/side, etc.)" and need not be translated.

I found the two very different pronunciations of 休息very interesting. The older-sounding lady has an endearing lisp; the younger says "siu-see".

到哪里?

The question I get asked most often when I get in a taxi. (No verb after 到, usually: It's a simple "Where to?")
