我喜欢说“麻烦”。
Wǒ xǐhuan shuō“máfan”.
I like to say 'mafan.'
The rest is a bit odd if you translate it into Chinese, so I'll just leave it at the above :)

We don't have that vocab in the PDF for this lesson, so not quite sure what you mean, sorry! a little confused.

师傅 (shīfu) is fine to use for a woman as well.
Yes, you can use 大婶 (dàshěn)--it is more common in the north of China, and is used generally only for women over 40 years old.
If you are in a shop, and the boss/owner is female, you can also address her as 老板娘 (Lǎobǎnniáng).

到店里买 (Dào diàn lǐ mǎi)
到商店里买 (Dào shāngdiàn lǐ mǎi)
Both are OK. You can use 店 (diàn) or 商店 (shāngdiàn).
And these expressions can be used for physical shops, or online shops.
3.G and iphone don't have any Chinese translation yet, as far as we could find.

Basic subscribers do get video. It may be that your internet connection is just slow. If you press the 'pause' button and let the whole video download first, sometimes that helps.
