Ah -- was just able to get the lesson.  Had to log out of the app on my phone, then log back in.

Has anyone been able to download the mobile version of this lesson yet?  I can't get it to show up when I sync.

Note to the translator: "ni chu lai" is glossed as "Come out of the car".  A more literal but still correct translation would be simply "Come out", right?   Why did you add "of the car"?  It makes it hard to use the sentence for praticing going from English to Chinese.

Another word missing from the Vocabulary: 冻

Translation error on sentence 2 of the Expansion:

他从来 (he...)

is given as

I ...

OK, I think I've discovered what is going on.

Heads, up, everyone -- you now must EXPLICITLY bookmark a lesson for it to be picked up by the Android app. This did not used to be the case.

Speaking of Android -- I use the Chinese Pod Android app -- but it hasn't picked up any new lessons lately.  The last things I got were "Detective Li" and "Take Your Medicine".   Is anyone else having this problem?

羡慕 is used in the dialogue -- shouldn't this be included in the Key Vocabulary?

Actually, I figured how to solve this. I found that the file as downloaded onto the phone had a size of 0 bytes. I delete the file and then redownloaded, and it was fine. This happens with one or two files every other lesson or so. Maybe an Android problem?

This is a fun lesson.  Thanks for not printing the dialog all in one big paragraph.  It is easier to study if it is broken up into individual sentences.
