One Wrong Number at Work | Learn English (A2–B1)

Say one hundred real English sentences out loud, for a whole day at work. Emma has forty tourists, and the bus company has booked fourteen seats. Phone calls, emails, a meeting and lunch: check a number, correct your boss, chase a late list and say no to more work, politely. You listen, you hear it slowly, and you say it in the pause. Every five sentences, you shadow with us. Day 3 of 5. 👉 Listen, answer out loud when we pass you the mic, and tell us in the comments: "Which two numbers do you always mix up in English? Sorry, did you say ___ or ___?"
