Well, any the hoo, did you know that 护 (hù), is Duo's favorite word? For reals. You can hear him singing it in the trees at night sometimes.
In my country it's perfectly legal to have two passports. It's even necessary in some cases.

Oh, one of those not previously seen "measure" words, eh. Guess I'll just have to learn to expect them. Thanks.

It is actually called a "passport book" in US English. There is also a "passport card", which is only for international travel by land and sea.
Sorry, that seems an important bit of information, but I'm afraid I don't understand - who have a passport card? Americans or Chinese? Or maybe both? And what is the chinese word for a passport card then?
I am American. I have heard of passport cards: Americans can obtain them and use them for non-air travel between the US and our nearby neighbors (Canada, Mexico, islands in the Caribbean). I believe they are designed for frequent travel between these places, as the passport card does not need to be stamped upon entry and exit (so frequent travel does not fill up your passport). However, I have never heard anyone say "passport book" before. I can only imagine doing so to clear up some confusion between a passport card and a regular passport.
Thanks! That's really interesting.
Like many other Russians I actually have two passports - one for using inside the country and one for the international travels (the latter is optional) But both of them are books.
I am still curious about the existence of the passport card in China though :)
I'm also American and I have not heard of a passport book before. Even supposing thats a thing, that's not what this Chinese sentence is saying

Does anyone else think that her "zhao" sounds more like "zhang" when you play it separately?
