About this lesson
On a mountain path, two classmates find that the rule is to read a message aloud before climbing. A note says to go back, and it leads to the same question again.
How to practise
- Listen to the conversation with English.
- When you see À toi · Your reply, answer out loud in your own words before the reply plays.
- Then repeat the real reply in the À toi · Your turn pause.
