Just a list of phrases for you to repeat

The vocabulary here is useful but no craft is put in to make it easier to learn. No built in repetition or memory tricks, and no spacing of material to make it easier to take in. Strange choice of things to learn in some cases- my priority would not be learning both a pint and a half pint, draft and bottled lager - just learn to say beer and take what comes! Little effort taken to speak clearly and sound out words. No good for beginners, you need to already have your ear tuned.
