What are your thoughts on trasncribing lessons on the actual lesson page. That way the notes stick with the lesson.  At the end, it could be compliled in to a pdf transcript and shared.  Alternativly, some sort of public google doc/hackpad that everyone could live edit on?

Fiona: 今天对话的一开始我们看到陈总好像很惊讶又在看到吴经理

Gwylim: OK, so they're a bit surprised to see them, but shouldn't be surprised because they say it's a fixed itinerary, a set date in their calandar

Fiona: 行程就是 itinerary

Gwylim: OK and then they're talking about how last year maybe wasn't as good as they expected, what did they say?

Fiona: 它们说去年成效不佳，成效不佳。那我们先从不佳开始说好了。佳是一个说，好，一个比较正式的方式

Gwylim: OK, so 佳, that's a first tone right?

Fiona: 嗯

Gwylim: And that, means '好' 的意思

Fiona: Yeah

Gwylim: But a bit more formal

Fiona: 是。那成效呢 is the result of something

Fiona: And in this case it's the result of reaching a specific goal usually, because [成事项], 成功的成。当你 ［效]大到的目标，对不对？。You want a reach a goal, and its whether you reach that goal and 效 is 效果 like effect right? So did you get the effect you wanted by reaching this goal? Did you get that result? 成效 and in this case, it wasn't good, it was 成效不佳

Gwilym: So this guy's personal opinion is now that the internet is so developed, it's not necessary to go to these expos anymore
