    At the end of the video, you don’t give any numbers in the answers section. Makes it kind of hard to compare answers. Other than that, very informal.

    I'm loving this program, it has to be one of the clearest explanations of Chinese tones I found so far, so I was bummed when section 6 of the 2nd lesson (about the 5th tone) refused to play. Can this be looked at? I really want to listen to it. Thanks!
