ID: 3007 Intermediate
In this video lesson, we teach some useful words when you are looking to rent an apartment. Finding an apartment can be hard, but if you know some of the specialist language, your life will get easier. Tune in next week for the follow-up lesson where we sign the lease. If you want more lessons on apartments and housing, we have a whole playlist on the topic here.
