Nekonishiki Banji 404 Posted July 20, 2023 And we are already over the first day. Last winter at this time we were still preparing for watching the matches. Did you today? I had the tv-set turned on and saw the matches a little, but I had to work, so I couldn’t pay much attention. Well, the results were: New Zealand 1 Norway 0 Australia 1 Ireland 0 Nothing much to see yet, but at least there are already visuals.

Use a very easy way and do it like Jpn kids do - check out the Youtube channel: Suisui Ondoku native speaker is reading out texts (different level starting at primary one) and you can listen and read at the same time. pause/repeat whenever u like Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
