Correction priorities

Question order: Where are you from? / Where do you live?
Third person -s: she lives / Daniel offers / Karen works
Coffee phrases: Could I have…? / to take away / Sorry, how much?
Pronunciation: twelve × twenty; latte; administrator; Poland
Confidence: correction after the attempt, not during the first attempt.

Method note: Do not treat this as a grammar review only. The main aim is phrase recall and confident reuse. Each chunk should circulate through at least three moments: retrieval, controlled transformation and speaking.

Use of Portuguese: Portuguese is allowed for quick clarification, but ask Bruna to repeat the final useful sentence in English.

Personalization: bring back her real language: It’s been a crazy week, my phone broke, little by little, I worked on…, I went to Pilates / swimming class.

Personal Warm-up
