When you save vocabulary words, what becomes of them? How can you review them?

In the expanded vocabulary, a sentence is translated as "People should learn to love themselves" The Chinese word in the sentence is xin3teng2.

It is translated in other examples as "anguish".

Any explanation?

The last sentence should read "This is true for many lessons not just this one."

Overall the lessons are great!

I wish the translations were more literal and less dynamic. There is an element of interpretation/explanation in some of the translations  which seems unwarranted.

This is true for many lessons, not this one

 随便东西 is translated as "Don't throw your things around"; however, there is no negative in the sentence. Why is that?

"How do you feel this bar?" What does this expression mean and what place is it used?

I had hit a definite wall in my Chinese studies. Lao Wang's experiences, depicted on ChinesePod, have revived my interest in the language.

Friends have said that  I'm speaking "real" Chinese.

Many thanks.
