I'll second that., Jason. Great to have a variety of podcast voices. And good to have a bit more complexity in the elementary dialogue. Makes me learn more, without scaring me off ...

Yes, I would be interested in having that link. This year, I saw a great (sad and slow) documentary called 归途列车 Last Train Home (Le Dernier Train) by 范立欣 (Fan Li Xin). It's about parents from Sichuan who work in Guangzhou. In this film, they don't appear to have any free time at all.

他送了一本书给我。
(He gave me a book as a gift).

(The excercise expects 已 instead of 一）。

Thanks.
