Now Listen!

First, just listen.

The second time, use the ‘pause’ button so you can repeat what you hear and work on your pronunciation!

N.b. The first time you press ‘pause’ the screen tends to grey out with an advert for Soundcloud, where the audio is hosted. Click the X in the corner of the audio play box to return to the audio…

Finally, listen again and translate what you hear into English.
