  2. Lesson notes: our lesson notes provide a written version of the texts and further explanations of the words and phrases covered in each episode.
  3. Video Pronunciation Practice: we've taken the recorded version of the text and created a video of the diary entry, leaving pauses after each phrase or sentence to allow you to repeat and improve your pronunciation.
