    Hi guys, I enjoy listing to the conversations very much. Could you please record some more, for example people talking in pubs about typical concerns of life, at the bus stop or on the bus(buying a ticket), asking for the way. You know what I mean….just typical situations from every day life. Thanks a lot. Love.Izabela

    Hi Ricky, we haven’t recorded more of the Nurse Story or any of the other Interactive Stories. What you hear in this post is just a sample. We may, at some point, record one story in full, and will notify the mailing list if we do.
