Words of module 8: A bad day
Reviews practise both sides: wherever Lukas and Lena would say something differently, you do it once as each.
In this module you learned to
- call in sick, say how I feel and understand simple advice
- make and move an appointment on the phone and give my details
- say what hurts, understand a doctor's instructions and ask how to say a word
- ask for medicine and understand how often to take it
- say how I feel now and understand a short note
