Error in the tagging of this lesson:  it is tagged as "table manner".  Should be "table manners".

浸泡 jìnpāo to soak

The pinyin has pāo, but I think the speakers are all saying pào.   Can someone confirm?

I noticed that, too. Maybe a copy-paste error?

Is any staff person from Chinese Pod listening?

Typo in an Expansion sentence:

翻成译  should be 翻译成

The pinyin is fānyìchéng, and the recording matches the pinyin.

Mistranslation on the latter half of the last Expansion sentence.

Instead of "Let's try to get to sleep as early as possible", I would suggest "Let's get up as early as possible and go to the airport".

----------------------------------------------------------------------

 The plane is tomorrow at 8am. Let's try to get to sleep as early as possible
明天早上八点的飞机,我们尽量早点儿起床去机场吧。

Mistranslation on this sentence.  One way to fix it would be to say "you might be unable to go".

因为可能老了以后就走不动了。

yīnwèi kěnéng lǎo le yǐhòu jiù zǒubudòng le。

Because when you're old you might be able to go.

Unfortunately, this sentence is used in the Exercises also, and the recording in the exercises still stays "xia wu", so a student who follows the recording will get it marked wrong.

Thanks, Alex. I'll keep checking it.
