I think one of the reasons the machine vocabulary is difficult in this lesson is that there isn't very much context given; the sentences are pretty simple "Is that a ___?" "No, that's a ___." The explanation in the lesson helped, but it would also be nice to have something like "No, that's a ___, see how it's moving the dirt?" Just a thought.
Good lesson--it's great to learn vocabulary that's useful outside of the normal tourist or student conversations. Thanks ChinesePod!
