The decision they practise
In “Sana’s doorstep”, 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 a missed check-in goes unnoticed” and “Sana slips on the icy step at 20:20”.
How you know they finished
The 9-question quiz mixes multiple choice and matching questions and returns to the opening story.
