How to use this lab
SIOC Labs is designed to sit beside the school pages: the school page helps the student choose correctly; the lab helps the student arrive prepared and function from day one.

These sample dialogues are kept short, polite and usable. They avoid slang and force the student to practise the exact situations that happen on arrival: café, directions and asking for slower repetition.
