Up for a Game?

Intermediate 1 • 15 Words

Nothing like a rousing game of ball with a few strangers. In part four of the FluentU course, A Basketball Afternoon, watch as Yang Kai and his friend take a break, stretch out, and are then asked to play a game by a few friendly - albeit somewhat more advanced in age - fellow ballers. Check out the courses page to subscribe to the entire course.
