Once you are familiar with the dialogue, listen again and repeat your lines with the goal of improving your response time. Do this as many times as you like. When you feel your responses are natural and the pace is fluid, use Wimba to record your responses and submit your quasi-conversation as homework. See the "Communication Tools" section of the Technical Requirements page for information on how to use Wimba.
