Since St. Valentine's Day is slowly approaching, let me share with you my take on the subject of dating and relationships. The lesson focuses not necessarily on the language of love but I believe it's quite interesting and could serve as a nice change from somehow cliche materials we tend to use on that day. Anyway, hope you like it and have a great Valentine's!
