Listening and Speaking
Dialogue Practice
We would like you to listen again to the dialogues of this lesson. We expect that by now you have a pretty good grasp of the meaning, so we want you to focus your attention on pronunciation and inflection. After you listen to each dialogue (or each line of the dialogue), practice repeating the dialogue (or line) outloud, copying the native speaker's manner of speech.
