This lesson was fantastic. I remember trying to buy AA batteries in a small corner store in Shanghai, and I kept asking for 两个"A"电池 (as well as shaping out the letter 'A' with my fingers), nobody understood what I was talking about haha. What made it worse was that the lady knew I needed batteries, because she kept picking out the wrong size. Finally, with the support of other shoppers, I was able to score the correct size for my camera. Now I know. Thanks guys, keep up the good work.
