Food and shopping are everyday tasks. This week you will order clearly, ask for quantities, handle prices, and talk about recipes. Use the blue buttons to hear pronunciation. Change the speed first if you wish.
If you do not hear the pronunciation samples, try a different browser such as Google Chrome. Some versions of Samsung Internet do not support this feature.
Start with high-frequency items, then add tastes and textures. Use a short line to describe a dish.
