The decision they practise
In “Gillian and finance”, a face-to-face conversation, learners practise what to say and do when the other person pushes back. The wrong options are things a well-meaning person might genuinely say, and the feedback explains why each one is tempting. Short animations show “How £38,000 crept up”; and “Two ways to run the year”.
