In German 6.4, Die Erste Verabredung, many of the sections in Conversation Transcript and also Extra Vocabulary do not play -- there is just silence, but all of them record and assign a percent score. The full initial dialog/lesson played fine.

I'm reviewing German and noticed that you teach the informal mode of address, z.B., "du." I recall that using "du" inappropriately was considered rude. Has that changed in German-speaking countries?
