What's the word here at the start of the podcast for 'series'?  Xīlian?  Xièxie.

I'm wondering about the grammar example sentence that is translated "I lived in Shanghai for 3 years", whereasin the last expansion the same pattern becomes "I've lived in Shanghai for 9 months" which changes the meaning a bit froma past action completed in the past to a past actionstill ongoing in the present.

Also, the expansion sentence "Can we swipe cards here?" doesn't seem to agree with the simplified Mandarin "Ni3men zhe4li3 neng2 shua1ka3 ma?"
