These shorties are very important to get used to various accents and ways of talking. It is good that there are not too many new words in them and also not too many past and future tenses. The most important thing for me (and most students I suppose?) is to be able to follow everyday conversations…understand first then apply progressively. Thank you.
Thanks Georges! We’re always working on finding the right balance with these shorties, so we really appreciate the feedback!
