Fortunately, the tour had a “Study Extra” button on the underside of the map. After I clicked on it, I noticed many choices, together with “Learn Script.”
The transcript labored nice and allowed me to learn together with the spoken commentary. It was useful for my household as properly since I may fill in a number of the blanks they struggled with given the unfamiliar terminology.
