Typo in the pinyin of this Grammar sentence, in the Print version:

她们谈论的话题俗死了不是老公就是孩子
tāmen tánlùn de huàtí common sǐ le, bù shì lǎogōng jiùshì háizi。

The things they talk about are so common-- if it's not their husbands, it's their children.

Note the "tāmen tánlùn de huàtí common sǐ le".

Typo in the English of this sentence:

   (Jiao Jie likes mint flavor. She it's a toothpaste flavor.

Should be "She says it's" instead of "She it's".

I found this a hard lesson, by the way.

Two typos.

1. Tiny typo on the English of this dialog sentence:

Yeah, I guess it has to be because he got into an fight with his wife last night.

Should be "a fight" instead of "an fight"

2. The phrase

tán shēngyi

is listed both in the Key Vocabulary and the Supplementary Vocabulary

Hmm, it still doesn't play for me. Maybe something on my computer. Thanks anyway for checking.

Web site problem: on the Grammar tab, the audio player is missing for all sentences of the second section (每).  The other two sections are OK.

Something very weird has been happening.  When I load or refresh this lesson page in the Discussion page, your uploaded Task sound file begins playing automatically.   Happens on other lessons, too.

There is one sentence in the Dialog tab whose audio does not work:

形容正经
       (It means a person isn't very straightforward.)
