厉害 has changed too also mean "awesome", much like the English "terrific". You might want to get a more expanded dictionary.

Some people say that tong4 is more painful than teng2. But there's probably some regional difference too, my husband is from the south and he never says teng2. He says when it's just teng2, not tong4, it's not worth mentioning :)

According to my dictionary 顺理成章 is a set phrase that means "logical", "only to be expected".

Hi guys, thanks for the lesson! I'd like to ask about the exotic pronunciation of 垃圾 in one example sentence. The pinyin that's there is the usual la1ji1, but what the lady is saying doesn't sound anything close to that. Is that how they say it in Taiwan? It would also be great to bring back the little sound at the end of the review audio, just to let me know the lesson is over, it's not that my battery died or the app crashed. Thank you.

I think that kind of sentences omitting the subject generally mean "someone needs to do it" without specifying who. Can probably work as a less direct suggestion. Every so often I have a problem with people saying it that way, like do you want me to do it or are you doing it yourself after all?

In the word list 兴奋 is pinyined as two fourth tones. According to the dictionary and what I hear the people around me say seems like it should be xing1fen4.

Thanks for the lesson! Short error report: 重复 in the word list should probably be read as chong2fu4, not chong3fu4. 麻烦您们改一下，谢谢！

There is a mistake in the vocabulary section, the pinyin for ganging is misspelled, it shows up as fanqing in my Android app.

拥有 in the second example sentence is pinyined as yong3you3 in the video, and yong1you3 in the dialogue text. My dictionary also says yong1you3.
