    Remember that you can split ideas in as many segments as you wish. Toki pona likes small statements.

d. There is no many people as good as me in the whole world.

6 LUKIN SONA

  1. 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!
  2. Watch it again and read it aloud, just like if you were recording the podcast yourself.

End of the first lesson.
