In the pinyin transcript, you guys write 一起 as if it’s pronounced with a 1st tone and then a neutral tone. But the pronunciation I’m hearing is a 4th tone followed by a neutral tone. Just wanted to let you guys know. And that’s more correct.
It’s somewhat lazy in the swallowing of the 3rd tone on 起, but if you guys are trying to teach more native pronunciation than perfectly correct pronunciation (which can get obnoxious), then that’s great! This is the only lesson I’ve listened to so far, and I liked it a lot. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Chris - I have since updated the tone mark.

大家好！
In the Vocab and Type test sections, the first sentence is typed as 你怎么今天… not 你今天怎么… as it’s read. And the final recording for the Typing Test is missing (”有什么特别的事情吗”).
谢谢你
