Vi ricordo che il dizionario word-reference , on line, dà anche la pronuncia delle parole. • Nella lezione ci sono parti contrassegnate come ascolto, ma la parte audio non è inclusa nel pacchetto. Se siete interessati a questi listening o anche a quelli delle lezioni passate dovete farmi la vostra richiesta via mail al seguente indirizzo: p.ciocca88@gmail.com indicando il vostro nome. Sono ovviamente a disposizione anche per altri chiarimenti. • Spero in questo modo di colmare, almeno parzialmente, il vuoto in cui ci cacciato l’emergenza coronavirus.
