5 PALI SONA
Take your time and try to translate these sentences. Remember that you can split ideas in as many segments as you wish. Toki pona likes small statements.
a. Also, if anyone wants to complain, they can talk to me b. You could learn some other ways to cook. c. Begginers can watch television to improve their listening skills. d. There is no many people as good as me in the whole world. e. This podcast is important to me for several reasons.
6 LUKIN SONA
Here you have the text that you’ve just studied from the podcast. You will read it at the average same speed as the original audio one. Watch it several times and focus on understanding the more you can. You will quickly be able to catch everything. When you are done, go back to the audio and enjoy!
Watch it again and read it aloud, just like if you were recording the podcast yourself.
End of the first lesson.
Thank you to jan Juli, jan Itan and jan Tepo for their precious help!
