🎧 Summit: Grandpa's Schooldays
Aylin presses record and her grandfather's schooldays come back to life. Learners train the three-pass listening routine, catch the weak YOOS-tuh sound of used to and follow time-machine phrases like in those days. They finish by role-playing a time-traveller interview and writing a 50–80-word mini-interview.
