Practice

  1. Read for meaning and check unfamiliar pronunciation.
  2. Swap roles and change one place, date or time.
  3. Try without the text and note where you hesitate.

The directions are fictional language examples, not travel instructions. Do not use private addresses or contact details in a shared exercise.
