JP101さん！
For all those from Monterey proper & North Monterey County, including all the sea otters with abalone on their tummies, let me say, you rock! 
Markさん、
It didn’t cost me a penny. It just cost me providing video of Sakuraさん singing.

Sindy,
What you need to do is to listen beginner lesson 50, for once and for all.

The floor system is the same in CHina. The floor on the ground is the first floor, the floor above it is the second floor. There is no ‘ground’(と言う） floor.

We need to have a photo of Yoshiさん’s facial expression on the blog!!!
Some more examples for our Save Peter Camapaign™:
Again we have “yuge” as it they “make a yuge mess” at the 7:47 mark.
Also we heard that using かい as 回 is the “popular” way to use かい。However, it’s not that 回 is better liked than 階. In this case the phrase “commonly-used” or “widely-used” would be better. Yet another point covered in my “Common Problems in Speaking” class for Japanese students of English.
But don’t worry. We’ll help save ya Peterさん！
