ReplyDeleteLooks like some conversation models from typical conversation books...hehe sorry, I'm not being rude or sarcastic (am I?). I just think such conversation models much too awkward, stiff, frozen on so many levels...
ReplyDeleteI prefer learning conversations by watching western series or movies with English subtitles. It works, give it a shot!
