The Bamboo Train
Lesson Goal: Learn to listen for specific descriptive details about a unique form of local transportation.
Listening for Descriptions
When listening to someone describe an object or a place, your brain doesn't need to process every single grammar word. You should focus on Nouns and Adjectives.
In this lesson, a tourist is asking a guide about the famous Bamboo Train in Battambang. Listen carefully to how the guide describes the train. Pay attention to what it is called, what it is made of, and how it moves.
