Ok, I listened to it on the way home.

To those people who often raise the point that there is a big gap between Elementary and Intermediate - what about this one?

I don't think it was any harder than any other intermediate lesson - possibly slightly because there's so much new vocab in it, particularly lots of 机器, which I found difficult to remember. As with all intermediates I think it will take me 4 or 5 listens before I get anywhere with the vocab, but there's some good repetition which will hopefully let me at least remember some of it.

Is this the normal order for this expansion sentence?

怎么来了这么多人？

Or can you also say:

怎么这么多人来了?

Sorry, missed this! Apparently it's normal. But since she's been in England for nearly 10 years, she's become a weird english chinese hybrid so it bothers her more now :)

Oh, really great to hear Jen outside Englishpod! (although obviously I miss Liliana too ;-) ) Is this a permanent change? 

First time on Qing Wen and already outed as a Grammar Nerd :-)
