Is there a う in かっこいい？In the PDF it is written both ways… 
かっこういい又はかっこいいですか？ I know in Romanji it would leave out the extra u but just wondering if it’s both ways???

Good lesson as usual. Let’s hope she can find her umbrella
デボンさん, 格好いい is made up of two words: 格好(appearance) and いい(good, nice), so it should be かっこういい, but like with 気持ちいい(feels good) being shortened to きもちい, it gets shortened to かっこいい in casual speech because it’s easier to say.
なおみ先生はどんな先生と言うですか。かわいい声がある優秀で面白い先生なんですよね。そして、優しそうな性格です。Hmm, and to use a katakana adjective, 尻下がりで「はい」と言ったら、声がセクシーになるんですね。

デボンさん、 good question!
i’m deferring to Javizyさん, as he nailed it perfected. 
and from my own experience,
i met a friend for lunch today. it started raining, so i bought 399円 umbrella and jumped on the train. i slept for about 6 stations and then woke up in a daze, changed trains in shinjuku and then realized i left my new, unused umbrella on the train. 
luckily it had stopped raining when i got home, thanks to the covered sidewalks, i didn’t get wet at all!!

In English, could the expression “high building” mean a building that is located at a high altitude?
In Japanese, can you use an adjective to describe such building? We already know it’s not takai.

When I think of “high building” in my head that’s about the same as a “high rise”

Naomi先生 uses kanji in her name? I have seen them come up when typing, but wasn’t sure. 直美 would mean ‘honestly beautiful’, or something along those lines, right? I like the character 美, but I wonder why the monks liked big sheep so much 
Naomi先生, you’re more than welcome. Keep up the good work!

お元気ですか、皆さん？
このレッソンはものすごく楽しいです！！
ファブリツィオさんは高いことをよくおとしますね！ すごく慌て者です！
I found in my dictionary 慌て者（あわてもの）as scatterbrain, absent-minded. I hope it fits this context.
This conversation was really funny, it’s incredible. When I first heard he saing “nai” what popped into my mind was: “what was the brand this time?”

Just a correction:
* when I first heard him saying…
sorry for the poor English… I should have checked what I wrote before sending it.

It says today when displaying hair and hair when displaying today
