Lower Intermediate - My bicycle

We're back after our week off and we've got another exciting lesson for you all. Someone's sad after his bike gets broken and his friend, feeling bad for him (as all good friends would), wants to help him fix it. Is there any hope for this poor guy and his bicycle... ?
Listen in, liaise with the hosts, learn the vocab, and there's no way you'll go wrong. Don't miss this interesting lesson, jam-packed with new vocab.

    I don't know if you guys use iPods across the pond very much, but I haven't been able to get the last four podcasts to play on my iPod. Whenever I click 30, 31, 32, or 33, podcast #1 plays. I deleted #1, now #2 plays. Where the last four podcast transcoded differently, or is it my iPod?

    Frustrated in New York City,

    Hi Ibrahim,

    Unfortunately, I don't have an ipod to test this myself. The last four podcasts haven’t been transcoded differently, so I can’t think of why they’re not working on your ipod...

    Mohamed,

    It looks like it's my iPod, so I'll reset it.

    Thanks!

    Guys,

    I hate to keep bringing this up, but I reformated my iPod and the last four podcasts still don't work. They keep trying to play podcasts 1-4:(
    Could you please double check your end?!

    THANKS!

    Hi Ibrahim,

    We're looking into the problem. Does it happen with the latest lessons as well? i.e. #34 & #35.

    We checked the software we use to encode the lessons and the settings are the same since the beginning. If the problem persists then we will look into using an alternative encoding software.

    It actually only happens with the latest lessons. I have a work around, which is to re-transcode the download into another mp3.

    If I'm the only one with the problem,I wouldn't worry about it.

    Barakallahu feekum!

    So, in Arabic, one would literally say the tyre is 'broken', rather than 'punctured', as we would in English?

    @ psibear

    The noun “'itaar” (ﺇﻂﺎﺮwink has several meanings, including “tyre” and “frame” (see the diagrams in the Arabic version of Wikipedia), but as far as I know “inkasara” (ﺍﻨﻜﺴﺮwink always means “to break”. “The frame is broken” would make sense, but “The tyre is broken” is nonsense. Perhaps Ehab can tell us whether he is really referring to a puncture (ﺜﻗﺐwink.
