The video with this lesson won’t win any academy awards, that’s for sure, but it has everything needed to bring the conversation to life! It even sounds different after watching the video. I hope their simplicity means that it wouldn’t be too hard to produce more of them occasionally.
Thanks for making them such small files that are quick and easy to download. For study, they are perfect. It also helps the study to put human bodies behind those voices that become our daily listening. No need to do any more than this simple approach to allow us to connect with the people that will share our breakfasts, commutes, lunches, showers, exercise and sleepy time every day.

Thanks Parrot. I’m hoping to make more while in Taiwan. Same simplicity but with more elegant surroundings!
