The decision they practise
In “Leon and the spanner”, 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 one becomes two”; and “Three duties, in order”.
How you know they finished
The 11-question quiz mixes multiple choice, matching and sequencing questions and returns to the opening story.
