July 19, 2014 at 12:52 PMIn the dialog I am wondering if 怎么啦 (zěnmela) is an error and should be 怎么了(zěnmele). The online dictionaries I use do not have entries for 怎么啦.

July 10, 2014 at 7:18 PMI am unclear with this lesson's use of 一下 (yīxià) and the grammar section didn't really clear it up for me. 请等一下 (qǐng děng yīxià) is straightforward enough where it means briefly or a moment. But in 你收藏一下吧 (nǐ shōucáng yīxià ba) it seems unnecessary if you are only trying to say Dad, bookmark it. Unless, of course, there is a subtlety I am missing.

欢迎你来德国
Literally I think it is "welcome you arrive Germany". But that sentence doesn't parse to me. Could it be Germany welcomes your arrival? An explaination about the word order would be appreciated.

This was translated in the show as "they bit my baby". I'm confused by the use of 我们 in this context. I would expect 我的 or just 我 as the object is a close family member.
