April 16, 2011 at 7:48 PMShouldn't the dialogue's 1st sentence be translated in
English as "What good dishes do you have here? Else
it seems as Nǐmen" is almost completely ignored.

April 16, 2011 at 7:25 PMIn the 9th sentence of the Expansion, the word 'xiǎng'
isn't pronounced, so that makes the translation into
"will you try again one time? That is, unless you want
to translate the calligraphy, in which case it translates
as "would you like to try again one time? So, take your
pick, which is the nice thing about chinesepod.com

April 16, 2011 at 8:03 PMLine 6 of the Expansion should be translated as
"Are all of these yours?" If 'dōngxi' were used, it
would be "Are all of these things yours?"
