The decision they practise
In “Ayaan at lunch”, 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 “Two lunchtimes, before and after 2026”; and “Ayaan’s twelve minutes”.
