Upon reviewing this lesson, is it just me or does the girl have quite a strange tone of voice for this conversation? It's like she is too enthusiastic or something (:

Not that common in cities with small buildings.

Yea its just a big building thing. In peak hours, imagine trying to go down 40 floors in a packed elevator with the elevator stopping at every single level trying to let people in (when there is no more space)! Its really annoying.

I know i'll probably get hated for this, but I find it offensive that talk of issues such as children having both male and female role models (or even that there are gener roles at all) is banned.

@stephenfox, you might want to consider also typing the pinyin with correct tones. It will help you remember the tones better, and help others read your chinese as well.

They seem to talk really slow in this lesson.

Incidentally, why do some people call it a "cell" phone? Just wondering.

So true. The US thinks they are so special that they should be able to travel to other places without visas, yet don't believe they should let people come visit them without visas. It's double standards!
