getting into more kind of

getting into more kind of intermediate or advanced things

intermediate or advanced things

intermediate or advanced things you can be talking about stories

you can be talking about stories

you can be talking about stories related to that thing which

related to that thing which

that kind of thing so if we're moving on to more advanced I

moving on to more advanced I

moving on to more advanced I guess we'll take the

guess we'll take the

guess we'll take the intermediate approach first but

intermediate approach first but

intermediate approach first but looking at this intermediate

looking at this intermediate

looking at this intermediate level we're going to have

level we're going to have

level we're going to have another picture of a dog up here
