I believe this Qing Wen sets a record for most new characters used.

Why is it 得 and not 的 ?

Small pinyin error on this Expansion sentence.  Should be fà, I'm pretty sure.

I heard Shanell say "pronounciation" on another podcast recently. Surprising coming from a native speaker of American English.

All the audio files are missing for the first section of the Grammar.

The lesson title is "Preparing Traditional Chinese Medicine", but the lesson PDF has just "Traditional Chinese Medicine".

These extremely long stretches of speech in the dialog are hard to study and review.   One problem is that there is no good way to play just a part of them.  So you can't focus in on a word or phrase that needs study.  Also, on the mobile app, if you bring up the "breakdown" for an individual item, you end up having to scroll in each of the three windows (Chinese, pinyin, and English).  For the Dialog tab and and the PDF, could you break them into smaller pieces of one or two lines each?

Audio file problem on one Expansion sentence:  it is truncated -- the last three characters are missing from the audio.

It's finally fixed. Getting no reply on this discussion, I finally posted to the "Technical Problems on SIte" and got a resolution that way.
