Practice Reporting a Lost Item in Afrikanščina
Losing your wallet, phone, or passport abroad is bad enough; explaining it in Afrikanščina adds a second layer of stress. This scenario walks through reporting a lost item — at a hotel, on transport, or to police. You'll practise describing the item ('a black leather wallet, about this big'), saying when and where you last saw it, and asking what happens next. The vocabulary covers items, materials, colours, and the times-and-places grammar you need to give a useful description.
