Sorry, I didn't mean to cut in here. I started transcribing the first time segment, then had to leave for over an hour. When I came back I finished off the segment, and only then discovered you had already transcribed it.
BTW, in D(3) 电 should be 店.

John: So that means 'custom-made'.
Dilu: 是啊。
John: What about 'custom make'?
Dilu: 是一样的。这个词又可以做形容词，又可以做动词。
John: So it can be a verb or an adjective. Now let's listen to the dialog.

John: So what does this guy say that he wants?
Dilu: 他说他要定做一双皮鞋。定做一双皮鞋。
John: 定做 - custom-made, or 'have custom-made'.
Dilu: 对。
John: And what is it?
Dilu: 定做一双皮鞋。
John: So there's a measure word in here.
Dilu: 是的。双，第一声。
John: That's 'a pair'. And what kind of shoes?
Dilu: 皮鞋。
John: Two 2nd tones. 皮鞋 means 'leather shoes'. And it usually refers to at least slightly dressy shoes, possibly very dressy shoes.

Dilu: 对。就是样是还比较真实的那种。Leather shoes。
John: Pretty formal. And then the lady asks him a question about the shoes that he wants custom-made.
Dilu: 是的。想要什么材料的？想要什么材料的？
John: 'What material 的'.
Dilu: 什么材料的皮鞋？
John: Leather shoes made from what material? Sounds like a silly question but its not totally ridiculous.
Dilu: 因为皮鞋有很多不同的材料。

John: I didn't know it, I had to think about it or look it up, and its polyurethane, of course. PU.
Dilu: Of course.
John: But when Chinese people say PU, it doesn't sound quite like the English PU. What do you hear?

Taking another break for 3 hours or so if someone wants to continue with the transcription.
(Edit: Actually there's a new Intermediate lesson out, so I'll be attending to that one first before I continue here.)
