Instructions
- Watch — Watch the video without the subtitles. If they are on, click on the little "CC" symbol and turn them off.
- Watch and Read — Turn on the subtitles in Bambara/Jula (click on the little "CC" button) and read along. If you are lost, you can also switch it into English and then re-watch in Bambara/Jula. And remember, you can also slow down the video to make it easier to follow along. I recommend 75%. Click on the little gear symbol.
- Listen — For extra practice and exposure, listen passively to the excerpt like a podcast while commuting, cooking, walking, etc.
A video will be here later!
