To Judy76,  I know these words in English, and even more obscure ones, I'm not sure where from, but I do.  So, I think learning them in Chinese is quite reasonable.

I was starting to wonder if Saved by the Gong had been abducted by ninjas.  Glad to see it back.  现在我要吃饭了。

Can we use 摘掉?  Other other verbs of taking off that the discussion missed?

In my last act of looking a gift horse in the mouth for the day, for me the English translations in the dialog tab are kind of annoying.  Is there a way to turn them off? . The source of the annoyance is that I like to read the Chinese and see if I understand it.  With the English right there it is hard not to cheat and it is distracting to switch back and forth between languages.  (nevermmind.  there is.  I just have to click on that gear looking thing in the upper right corner to get the option.)

Thanks PearltowerPete and Henning.  You are right, the expanded search works.  I had just tried the default.  Mea Culpa.  It would be nice if there were a way to get that effect from the menu bar, though...

After news of the improved search, I tried searching for 学期.  The result was, "no lessons found".  I believe there are several lessons that contain this word.  I think full text search of lesson contents is still missing.

I wanted to hear the funny talking guy's electronics blow up, though.  The lesson is missing something.  Great lesson anyways.

早遇到动物会提高孩子的抵抗力是这个对话的概念之一.  不过我的儿子还是婴儿的时候我让他吃了番茄. 现在他对番茄有过敏,而且我的老婆怪我让那个情况发生.
