Recensioner:

"I enjoyed acting out the dialogues because we had fun. When you are not doing the usual things in a lesson you?re more relaxed and you learn more. I learned lots of new words and how to pronounce words in the dialogues."
Sara L (student year 8)

"Acting out the dialogues was very useful. It was a great way for students to learn new words and helped their pronunciation."
Malin S (teacher)
