How you learn
- Show me: Tcha, your guide, does the activity while you watch and explains each step out loud.
- Guide me: you do it, and Tcha points to what to do next.
- Let me try: you do it on your own, with help there if you need it.
- Everything is practice: nothing real is sent, changed or bought, so mistakes are safe.
