Another funny 22.2 error in the Extra Vocab:
"En esa casa, hay pura gente loca.”
Audio translation: In that house, there’s purely crazy people. Right
Extra Vocab trans: “In this case, there are purely crazy people.” Wrong
Ignoring for the moment that ‘esa’ is ‘that’, isn’t “In this case” “In este caso”?
22.2 Another funny error

Ohhh by the way i just read this again and it says "En esa casa, hay pura gente loca"
The word "pura" means "pure" or "purely" but i think in this specific case they should have translated it as "In that house, there is only crazy people"....the "pura" in the sentence has a similar meaning as "only" . For example:
"Ve a la tienda y traeme puros tomates rojos, y nada de verdes!"
"Go to the store and bring me only red tomatoes, and no green ones"...(or something similar).
I hope this helps, saludos!
