Yeah that was an epic fail on my part. I edit the videos, and this was one of the early ones. Maybe I can remaster it some day :)

Are you talking about these buttons on the audio player? 

You can achieve a similar functionality by using the left and right arrow keys to skip 10s on the video.

The video already floats down the side of the page. How would you like it different?

Could you explain further? I don't understand what you mean. Perhaps we can fix it if you have more examples?

I've used them a few times. The deposit is 900NTD (30USD), and short rides seem to be free. Accessing them via your smartphone is pretty simple. The problem is that the bikes aren't very nice to ride. They are fixed gear, and the default level is quite hard, so not as pleasant as the uBikes. The second thing is that people seem to just leave them anywhere. However, in the app there is a place to report such bikes and I think you get credits for being a snoop ;)

They're great if you're in a hurry somewhere and don't have time to find a uBike station and your destination is not near one, but the public and company need to be responsible for how and where they park them.

Correct, 早 zǎo in the context of greetings means "Good Morning" / "Morning!" (greeting)  It is also the word for early and morning.

The dialogue volume should be fixed. It's possible the audio is coming from your cached memory, so you may need to clear your browsing data, or try another browser. Check out this lesson tag for more lessons like this:https://chinesepod.com/library/tag/property

Could you try again? They should be working now. If not, let me know.

I'm not sure what the issue was, but I went into your vocabulary manager and selected the words without a deck and clicked "More Actions" then moved to the Deck entitled Aug 9, 2017. It worked and those remaining words are now in that deck.  Perhaps it was just a case of refreshing the browser and our system getting confused.

If you happen to have an Apple iOS device, our latest app update allows you to study these words in our new flashcard feature :)
