And finally, you'll review the dialogue with the text again to master what you've learned.

First, listen to the dialogue with the text on the screen.

Jeg tror, jeg går hen og skubber Lisa i poolen.

Gør det ikke. Hun bliver bare sur.

Okay, så sprøjter jeg vand på hende!

Nej, du burde slet ikke gøre noget, der kan gøre hende sur på dig.

Jamen, hvordan kommer jeg så i kontakt med hende?

Du skulle måske starte med at sige hej til hende.

Now you'll hear the key vocabulary followed by the English translation.

slet, 'not, no'

at sprøjte, 'to spray, to squirt, to spurt'

sur, 'mad, angry, sour'

at gøre, 'to do, to make'

ikke, 'not'

jamen, 'but'

at sige, 'to say, to tell'

at skulle, 'to have to, to have got to, to must, to ought to, should'

at burde, 'ought to, should'

at skubbe, 'to push'

Finally let's review the dialogue again, see if you can understand more this time.
