If you have any questions about this lesson or if you notice a mistake, then please leave a comment below. If I don’t know the answer myself, then I will ask our teachers.
I’m making these latter lessons (13+) public now, but I haven’t included grammar explanations. If there is something you don’t understand, then ask a question. I will either answer in the comments or add a grammar explanation above.
