There will be 10 more sentences to learn for lesson 3, so make sure to master these ASAP! Get to the point where you can say them and know exactly what you’re saying, without even looking at the text.

Resources:

Try to recite the whole dialogue along with the recording. First try it with the text, then try without the text. Make sure to practice particularly the parts that are difficult for you to keep up with from memory.
