In this beginner-level video, Luana teaches us about plants. She talks about the functions of the various parts of a plant, and offers tips on watering plants that grow indoors and outdoors.

Sigrid gets to work in the kitchen and talks her way through preparing and cooking dinner, almost as if you were there with her. You'll notice she uses either the "will" future ("I will" or "I'll") or the phrase "going to" (often reduced to "gonna") to talk about each next step.

Sigrid talks to us while preparing some simple vegetables for dinner on her terrace in Italy. Fresh green beans, also known as "string beans," are the centerpiece of the meal.
