对话里，B说：“活多的做不完”。我有点好奇，这里的 “de“ 应该写成 “得” 吗？或者 “的”这样写是对的？

Here's a (completely unofficial - of course!) edited version of the artricle in case it's useful to anyone.

I wonder if "几岁了？" might not be as appropriate for really young babies because using 几 you'd be expecting an answer in terms of "a number of years" and this baby is not yet one year old. Is there any truth to that?

I agree. Maybe CPod can take another look at this translation. It feels to me more along the lines of: "Surely you can't get the Enlgish name of the stuff you want to buy wrong?"

Hi Cpod,

I noticed a couple of problems in the materials:

1. Dialogue 5th line: the popup for 趟 shows 1st tone instead if 4th

2. 1st expansion sentence: popup shows 一起 as "together" rather than 起 as a MW.

Gotta be careful with the tones here:

浴缸  yùgāng (bathtub)

鱼缸  yúgāng (fish tank)

不小心说错的话，人们会笑你的。:(

哦，那我觉得应该把翻译里面的“where"去掉吧。
