Hey, ummm... Why doesn\'t the PDF download show when I\'m in the lesson page? This is true about all other lessons as well.
Anyway, thanks focr the lessons still. Really like them :)

@alkrasnov,
I\'m afraid I don\'t understand your question. When you\'re on the lesson page, you will find PDF icon below the lesson image (it says \"Lesson Transcript PDF). Clicking this will start the PDF download. Can you tell me more about your problem please?
Thanks,
Catherine

Hi, Cathrene.
The problem is exactly the fact that the icon for Lesson Transcript PDF is missing...

@alkrasnov I've just checked the page and I have a few suggestions:
(1) try signing in... the icons don't appear if you haven't signed in.
(2) try switching browsers. It's possible that there is some strange quirk with your browser.
*Are you having this problem with other lessons, or is it just this lesson in particular? I can try re-uploading it if it's just this one...

Catherine and Alkrasnov,
I just realized that the PDF icon appears on the main lesson page but disappears when I open one of the tabs (Discussion, Dialogue, etc). I noticed it on Spanishpod and apparently it's happening here too.
Is that the case for you, Alkrasnov?
alkrasnov says

Anna8, that is pretty much what's happening. I mean, when I'm in the main page of each lesson (not in the page where all the lessons or all the lessons of a certain level are presented), like right now with the discussion, the PDF icon is not present. There's only Full lesson (Radio and CD quality), Lesson Dialogue and Lesson Review, without the PDF transcript coming after it.
And I'm signed in, using Google Chrome, which didn't have these problems in the past...
Oh, and it doesn't occur for me in Spanishpod.
Edit: Just checked with Firefox, and same thing. No PDF transcript icon.

can you tell me the difference between a pound and kilo how much is the difference between them?
catherinem says

@la_bella_italia: There are 2.2 pounds in 1 kilo. So a kilo is more than twice as heavy as just one pound!

@aloka: Hi, I'm glad to hear that you are in Italy! You would like to practice your spoken English in Italy? Which city do you live in? If there is a University where you live maybe you could find some students willing to make friends with you and practice both English and Italian!!
