PART 1 · LESSON 3 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

A discovery meeting

Ana conducts her first conversation with someone new, Priya, who moved to the neighborhood two weeks ago and has never stepped into the room. Say tell me what it was like the first time you came here, I came in asked for the room and no one knew which room, where people usually get stuck, at the name, activity room doesn't say anything, and what were you looking for, a place for my daughter to listen to stories in English, so the name should say that, it should, and you came back, I came back because the woman at the front desk walked me there, and that shouldn't depend on the woman.
