Hi, I heard the female teacher use the word "sequence". How would we say that in Chinese?

I just read the exchange between vitruvianman and    go-manly. It seems to me that Liliana is a Chinese learner herself, whose native language is probably Spanish. While I think she's amazing for taking on a third language( at least), I personally think a native English speaker would be ideal for this kind of podcast because I think most of the learners are probably native English speakers learning Chinese, based on the comments on the message boards. The reason being is, I think her unstandard accent is just a bit too distracting and also because her language view point is that of a Spanish speaker, which very much different than a native English speaker's.

“寝室”和“宿舍”用起来有什么区别呢?“泳装”可不可以说“游泳衣”? 有没有什么区别?

我还有另外一个问题。中国人真的会用“派对”这个词吗?我听说中国人一般会直接用英文的party 这个词。 中国人到底说什么呢?

我有一个问题。 Jenny 老师 在课 (4分钟25秒)说“宅男” 是今天才出现的词。 这是真的吗?是不是今年才在中国大陆出现的词?

hahaha, the “son/ 儿子”sounds like a girl!

I've seen a few movies where mothers call their sons 儿子, but I haven't noticed parents calling their daughters 女儿。 Is it because Chinese parents don't call their daughters 女儿?If so, why??

我还有两个问题。 对话里的儿子对他的妈妈说“您”。 这是正常吗?其实我真的很少听到人家用“您”这个词。我的另外一个问题是对话里有“再说” 这个词。 儿子对他的妈妈说一些话, 然后说“再说...”。 我的问题是, 这样的说法是不是书面语?我以前的老师跟我说“再说”这个说法是比较书面语,但是这课是对话,所以怎么会有这样的说法呢?
