PART 3 · LESSON 29 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

Check what was understood

After a packed circle, Ana checks with Rosa whether the summary at the end conveyed what she wanted, and learns to ask if something came across as intended and to make room for a correction next time. Say Rosa the summary at the end did that come across the way you intended, mostly you said I came here for a better life, and that's not it, I came because my sister was here the better life came later, so the order matters, the order is the story, is there anything you'd like us to clarify next time, just that sister first life second, sister first I'll say it exactly like that, and then sit down.
