That one doesn't show up in the old dashboard.

Another good and interesting lesson with lots of useful vocabulary and explanations.  But I would prefer the dialogue without background music, which I find distracting and unhelpful.

Yes, I prefer the dialogue without sound effects or background music, thank you!

I agree, I think the subtitles (plus key words in separate boxes) are a really good idea, and it would be useful to have more lessons in this format.

Thanks, this is a really good and useful lesson. as always.  But why do you have a video playing on the screen behind the presenters?  Is it just me, or does anyone else find it an unnecessary distraction?smile

Very useful and interesting lesson, thanks.  

In English, if someone tells you something and you reply "I know", it implies "I already knew that".  On the other hand, if you reply "I see", it implies "I didn't know, but I know now".  From the lesson, I guess that "我知道了" means "I know now", but how would you translate the reply "I know (i.e. I knew already)" into Chinese?  Would "我已经知道了" be the most natural way to express this?

I often get the same problem with the listening exercises not playing in Chrome, but I find simply reloading the page makes it work.  I only get this problem in Chrome, not in IE.  

Incidentally, I get a different problem in IE, namely in the Matching exercises the lines never show up between the buttons I have clicked.  But in Chrome, this works fine.

Is there a mistake in the caption at 0:35?  It says 这类的  but it should be 之类的, right?
