Could someone please listen to the audio review for this lesson and see if it can be fixed?  The content is missing.

Thanks.

In defense of the poetry lessons: I believe in the 'use it or lose it' maxim regarding acquired foreign languages, and have myself studied several and lost fluency due to lack of use.  An odd exception to this in my personal history is that my high school German teacher taught one semester of language through poetry alone.  My favorite poems from that class seem permanently etched in my mind.  They are instantly recitable and bring me great joy; their historical and cultural contexts are a bonus as well.  So, I appreciate the opportunity to study the poetry lessons written by Pete even though I don't have time to devote to that right now.  I'm glad they're there and think they add a scholarly aspect to the website.

In Exercise #3, "Fill in the Blanks", why do the choices change when I push restart?  I find this and other oddities to be the case in this type of exercise for many lessons.  Really, it is becoming a waste of time to even attempt.

Also, this lesson's expansion has a problem in its next-to-last sentence: neither the written translation nor the roll over match the audio.
