In the learning Center as well as in the pdf there is a mistake in the dialogue. the dialogue says "Danke. Meine Telefonnummer ist null-eins-drei-sieben, sechs-fünf-zwei-eins neun-null-null-sieben."

It should be double oh-seven at the end (especially since this is the Bond-joke) Just to let you know. In the learning Center as well as in the pdf there is a mistake in the dialogue.
