I noticed the spoken dialogue was fixed to some extent, but I'm wondering

if anyone saw this question. Since the speech in the 9th also has 'chǎnshēng',

is it possible that both ways of saying this expression in this lesson are correct? It seems I've seen the same thing with other expressions, e.g.,

'shìhé' & 'héshì' for to fit/suit, as a normal way of speaking in pǔtōnghuà.

Reply to self, it's 'tè' meaning very or really.  But I still haven't found out about 'jiāo' as a measure word.  My grammatical resources are rather limited.  Thanks to anyone that can help.

Sorry, I also forgot to ask, what is the tone for 'te' when used before 'hǎochī' as noted by John & Jenny in the lesson discussion?  Xièxie.

Reply to Jason Sch, isn't 'jiāo' a measure word in the example you are treating here, and, if it is, for which noun is it the measure word?

I also just noticed that the spoken dialogue ends with "...gùkè" and not with 'kèhù' as given in the simplified shūfǎ.  Not a big error since both mean the same thing but maybe it should be rectified.

I notice in the dialogue & lesson with Ken, Jenny & Aggie shēngchǎn is given for 'to produce' but in the 9th expansion chǎnshēng pops up.  Are they both right or is the latter just a typo?

Xièxie. The 1st tone I saw was obviously an error but it may have just been in my notes. Jiùshì nǎli wǒ wàng le.

What is the right tone for 'xi' in 'xuéxi'? The vocabulary here has 2nd tone,

but I've seen neutral and 1st as well. Which is right, or are all of them right?

The 'zài' in the sentence may indicate the action is still in the present.
