    • Thanks for the feedback Joan (and Jennifer)! You’re right, this one is much trickier than it seems. It includes a lot of uncommon vocabulary related to rivers, so this would be one where it could help to spend some time reviewing the word lists before listening. Plus, I think the articles are always going to be a bit more challenging in general because, like you said, not only are you trying to understand the language, but you’re also learning new facts.
