Qophii #117 kana irraa waliin dubbatnaa shaakalaa. Mana kitaabaatii kitaaba ergifachuu yeroo deemtan afaan fayyadamtan irraa barattu.


This bonus episode provides interactive speaking practice for the words and phrases you learnt in #117 Borrowing books at the library (Med).

Don’t be shy and speak clearly. Try thinking about the food that really hits the spot for you, so you can put some emotions into these phrases!

Allan: Hi...I’m returning this book. I think it might be overdue. Can you check if there’s a late fee?

Claire: Sure. Let me scan it… It was due back yesterday, but there’s no late fee this time

Allan: That’s a relief. I haven’t finished with it yet. Can I renew it?

Claire: Sorry, this title has already been reserved, so I can’t renew it. But I can check the catalogue and help you find something similar.
