Indian college life has its own vocabulary, and new students hear it from the first hour: the hostel warden, "internals", "proxy", "bunk", "HOD", canteen orders and a group chat that never sleeps. This lab presents an invented first week: Jonas, an exchange student in Pune, meets the hostel warden, his classmates Anil and Divya, and the canteen counter. Listen to the dialogue, follow the decoding notes, and answer the questions. What you will learn: • At the hostel • First class • In the canteen • The group chat • Features to notice • What jonas did well • Comprehension questions • Listening strategies • Self-check questions to test your ear Level: B1–B2. Self-study: listen, then take the quizzes. Audio voiced with AI from an original script by Dr. Rashmi R Nair.
