Coffee-guy.. love it! :) How would we say this in mandarin? 咖啡男人？ Or is there something more appropriate to this context.. like the "tea lady" term used in English speaking countries?

Thanks for that, I'll leave it at that for now since we're now getting off-topic here but I am still curious about a couple of things. May be it will come up in my lessons for this month with my cPOD teacher. :)

每一个人除去我会讲普通话很好！
měiyīgerén chúqù wǒ huìjiǎng pǔtōnghuà hěn hǎo!
Everyone except for me can speak Mandarin very well!

Would this be the correct way to say it? I would probably just say the following but I am curious about the sentence construction above only.

我会讲普通话不好。
wǒ huìjiǎng pǔtōnghuà bùhǎo

每个人 - měi ge rěn (everybody/everyone). Not to be confused with 美国人 měi guó rěn (American Person/People), which it sounds very much like during the dialogue in this sentence. And since this example is not in the expansion or PDF, it took me a little while to figure out what was actually being said.
