New subscriber: When I downloaded the workbook the only one I could view was Conversation One from Week 5. I wasn’t able to click 2-5 to get the transcript.
I looked through the workbook, and all 5 are there. What is the page count?
Right all 5 are there but were you able to click on any of them except the first one?
Here they all are. Sorry for the inconvenience. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0Lh3RG706EVir2iFy-vJdHSuLDuYXKIO
