Conversations

This course has many conversations. Here are my suggestions to make the most out of them.

1. Listen to the conversation first, without reading the text to improve your listening skills. [Click on the button below that says Comhrá 2.mp3 to listen to it]
2. Read the conversation and listen to it at the same time.
3. Read the conversation and write down your translation in English.
4. Read the conversation in English and correct your mistakes.
