69
00:06:01,079 --> 00:06:04,680

70
00:06:04,759 --> 00:06:06,560
as those lining this famous avenue.

00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,639

00:07:52,079 --> 00:07:55,560

99
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:56,360
away from the group.

Speaker 1: Is seta de v tefi tire parsla bertri.

101
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,879

00:08:06,959 --> 00:08:09,279
large picture windows Ala.

00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,439
conversations wrapped the place in a welcoming comfort.

110
00:08:42,879 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: He says g da lisa nachite de Parisia.

111
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 3: It was a drawing by a famous Parisian architect.

00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: Lucien contre la veu racion.

113
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,080

Speaker 1: Him messieurs se ve kill de vere tourne verses enni.

119
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,399

Speaker 1: Contill roe tru vai lu di itibu viucia te ri.

123
00:09:43,879 --> 00:09:47,679

Speaker 3: Led looked at him with amused curiosity, while Tibo wondered

129
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,679
what could captivate his friends so much.

130

Speaker 1: Lucien conrie el quill puve melic.

00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:28,720
his studies.

133

Speaker 1: Il ra cont laventieur sibri nouvel di termineciu.

134
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,440

137
00:10:54,039 --> 00:10:56,879
Speaker 3: School challenges suddenly seemed smaller when he thought about the

138
00:10:56,919 --> 00:10:59,919
grand future he could build brick by brick, a sign

139
00:11:00,039 --> 00:11:01,360

Speaker 1: De routu rel col lucien consecra la foi de che tiro.

141
00:11:10,279 --> 00:11:13,879
Speaker 3: Back at school, Lucian dedicated himself to both his studies

142
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,360
and his architectural dreams.

143
00:11:16,039 --> 00:11:20,559

145
00:11:26,399 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 3: He had learned that day that dreaming was essential, but

146
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,240
helping those dreams become reality was just as important.

147
00:11:32,799 --> 00:11:40,039
Speaker 1: Buffidit ill remerciii and fetid.

148
00:11:41,279 --> 00:11:43,879
Speaker 3: Over time, he thanked his friends for their support and

149
00:11:44,039 --> 00:11:45,039
unfailing friendship.

150
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: Lu Chian trod in san portisculaire ne policien so la veer.

151
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,519
Speaker 3: The chasse might have been the setting of a simple

152
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,720
school outing, but for Lucian it had been the beginning

153
00:12:03,759 --> 00:12:05,080
of a great inner adventure.

154
00:12:10,919 --> 00:12:15,039
Speaker 2: Today's vocabulary words are coming up right after this commercial break.
