January 10, 2012 at 5:20 AMI will let our customer support colleague JC answer your first question. But regarding your second question, we have not deleted lessons. We've only redone some earliest lessons to improve production quality. The transition from ele to int is commonly met with challenges by students. Take a look at the lesson list for these 2 elementary courses. It features some more difficult ele and easy intermediate lessons to smooth the transition.

So I applied for a tourist pass to Taiwan and visited the museum. They were having a 100 year Republic special exhibition. Extremely mesmerizing!
