The points that must land
Words worth practising
Continuing to try despite difficulties or delays
A strong desire or ambition to achieve something
Focusing on the development of the whole person, not just one part
An attempt to achieve a goal through hard work
The phrases the hall expects
The greeting, the thanks and the closing in the local language, with how to say them. Tap to hear.
