A. Hi, Alex! It is nice to meet you. They say you are attending the courses of studying the Spanish language. Are you going to enter Foreign Languages Institute?
B. Hi, Kate! No, I am not going to enter such kind of educational institution. Learning foreign languages is my hobby.
A. Oh, good for you. To my mind, learning foreign languages adds much to the knowledge of your own language. Is it difficult to study Spanish?
B. Believe it or not, but it is easy for me.
A. Is that really so? Great! Will you be so kind as to let me go with you to these courses?
B. It goes without saying. You are welcome.
A. Alex, I don’t know how to thank you... What should I take with me?
B. Kate, you need only a notebook and a pen. They have all modern study aids: tape-recorders, voice recording with booklets, videotapes...
A. Sorry for interrupting you. And do you use computers during your classes?
B. Certainly! Computers provide not only instruction and practice, but also self instruction. You may use different application programs. You will go and see.
A. Thanks a lot! That’s fine!
