This is probably the easiest story of all your “Shorties” for me to understand. I got most of the words (90%) and the few I misunderstood, I used the translation to steer me right. I did not use the translation until the very end. Understanding the spoken word was more difficult. First, the quality of the sound is poor, very distorted and so it is a challenge to “get!” I will review this one again, because it is something I am capable of comprehending. I hope you produce more on a similar note…..
I found this one relatively easy too. I didn’t have any issues with the sound, so perhaps that is due to the internet connection,?
