In one corner is Sarvocch's aquarium - a compromise on his yen for a dog - and in the other is the family's fridge, for which there is no room in their kitchen. They eat their evening meal sitting together on the floor of another room, bare except for a low divan, in which they also sleep. Lebanon is beautiful. Its landscape is dominated by the mountains that run parallel to the Mediterranean, separated from it by a narrow coastal strip in which most of the population lives.

The couple had an arranged marriage after Nagendra placed an advert in the Hindustan Times for an "educated" girl. They had a Hindu ceremony in 1988 in Delhi. Nagendra defied his father's wish that he marry a bride from Bihar, his native state in northern India. "We're Brahmins [the highest and priestly caste in Hinduism's caste system] and my father had a lot of land and would have got a lot of dowry from a local family. I obeyed him on everything but this. I don't agree with dowry and wanted to marry a woman who could understand me, teach our children and understand our relationship." Anita's family is from the rung below Nagendra's on the caste ladder and they come from a different state, Orissa, on India's east coast. "My father didn't believe in dowry or caste. He said the only thing that mattered was that the boy should be nice."

Ica Mate and her partner, Lajos Szauter, are enjoying a new freedom in their lives.

Ica moved there in 1996 when her former flat was demolished in the course of reconstruction of the area. At that time most of the flats were in state ownership. Rents were very low and did not cover the maintenance costs, so most buildings were sold to tenants for a very low price.

Each song is performed and taught by a video host, as well as sung by very young learners in real classrooms for international exposure, and supports the language and concepts introduced in the Student Books.
