hi daolin,

胳肢窝 (gāzhiwō) is the most common word for 'armpit', however you can also say 腋窝 (yèwō) and 腋下 (yèxià).

hi davoslamos,

流汗 (liúhàn) means you are sweating more.  出汗  (chūhàn) is more like 'to perspire.'

And yes, you can just say:  你很臭。(Nǐ hěn chòu.)

hi brims,

Yes, 旅游 (lǚyóu) and 旅行 (lǚxíng) are both verbs that can be used interchangeably to mean 'to travel, to tour.'

hey dave,

We are not sure why, but we have had a few reports from users in Taiwan saying they've been having the same problem.  Apparently there is some server connection issues at the moment between our US servers and Taiwan.  We hope it will be resolved soon!  Sorry for the pain :P

hi ronironi,

厉害 (lìhai) when used in the type of context as it is in this dialogue takes these characters: 厉害.  The other written form of 利害 (lìhai) is sometimes used in similar contexts, but the former is more correct.

利害 (lìhai) written in these characters can also have another meaning altogether, which is 'benefits and drawbacks.'

Hi notinks,

The 快 (kuài) is optional... just added for emphasis!
