I think there are some errors in the study guide for this episode.
p13. “I’m a bit nervous to be driving in front of your for the first time.”
Should be “in front of you.”
“Can wait a minute?” should be “Can you wait a minute?”
It’s obviously referring to the other person in this case but still it’s not correct.
p14. “That’s sounds great.” Should be “That sounds great.”
p15. “Just continue until your hit row 32.”
Should be “Just continue until you hit row 31.”
We’re really sorry about that Shadowyistar and I apologize for the typos. We’ll get this fixed right away. Thanks for letting us know about this issue.
