Hi. I was working with the dialog and noticed that 那个桌子 was used instead of 那张桌子. Was this intentional? Thanks.
Hi Susan,
You are correct that 张 is the technically correct term, however 个 is also commonly used as a generic measure word in daily conversation.
In the vocabulary review section, the second example shows “pan” instead of “pen” in the English sentence. Also, I don’t have the plug-in on my computer to view the videos. What do I need to download to do that? Thanks!
Thanks John, we have fixed the typo. We will email you regarding the video issue, as we have to find out what type of browser you are running.
