scottyb,

The song is indeed by The Go! Team. It's called Huddle Formation.

This stretch of street food vendors is located right outside the front gate of the university where 娇杰 (Jiāojié) and I both went to grad school: 华东师范大学 (Huádōng Shīfàn Dàxué). I picked the music too. This one is my favorite so far... :)

I think we can extend the deadline a little to give you guys a chance to work on it a bit more.

Final deadline: Wednesday, Sept. 24th (by 6pm, Shanghai time)

kimiik,

Ha ha... No way! All joking aside, we highly value all members of the community.

Also, Amber was ranked #2 (#3 now), after all, and I have been #1 myself in the past... (those were the good old days!)

jim_parker,

Yes, you heard me correctly... a little humor for those of you that are paying attention.

(For you non-native speakers, "tool" can have a negative meaning in slang.)

Thanks for all the great suggestions, guys!

As we've already said, there will be fresh, new formats coming out soon, and we'll definitely be trying new things. As auntie68 says, the sky's the limit, and we'll be pushing it!

Thanks for the technical suggestions, guys.

We're actually working on a new version of the exercises which will be much easier to use. We'll also look at how we can make longer phrases and sentences easier to work with.
