The very first exchange. Two neighbours meeting in the morning — nothing but hello, how are you, and goodbye.
The same greeting you just learned, now with names attached. Almost everything here you've already heard.
You have names. Now the question everyone asks next. Notice how much of this you already understand.
Small talk that comes up everywhere. Built almost entirely on words you've met — only the family words are new.
Numbers arrive. Everything around them is already familiar, so you can put your attention on the counting.
Your first transaction. The politeness words are new; the frame around them is not.
The café again, longer. Count how many words you recognize before the new ones arrive.
Finding things. One new question word carries most of this — the rest you've been using for weeks.
The answer to 'where is it' is usually directions. Three new words do all the work here.
Making a plan. Almost every word here has appeared before — only time itself is new.
Something you hope not to need. The grammar is all familiar now, so only the body words are new.
The longest one, and almost nothing in it is new. This is the test: a real conversation, built from twelve lessons of words you already have.
