I must say I do love this

I must say I do love this guide. My teacher doesn't like that I found it, though. Apparently I keep confusing the other students...

This is just a minor thing, but I probably would have slipped in a word of caution in using some of these structures when talking about other people. The one that particularly caught my eye was 「いけない」. Maybe it's just me being a silly girl, but I feel using this structure when talking to/about people of equal or greater social stance than oneself (in which case it would be 「いけません」, but you get my point) just seems a little assuming, and a bit overly forceful.

Maybe I'm just imagining things. Oh well.
