Сло́во за сло́во, unit 2: Hello, who is it?

Speak about this week's topic: daily words, questions and answers, verbs, a dialogue to shadow, and things to say aloud.

Goes with Lesson 3 and Lesson 4 of Week 2. About 15 minutes; one part a day works well.

Words of the week

One a day: say it aloud three times, then use it in a sentence about your day.
