Really good job! I'm impressed!
Some adjectives such as "ravishing" or "artsy" are a bit difficult so don't worry too much if you didn't understand them. It's great that you understood all the other ones!
It's a great way to learn vocabulary in context.
See you later,
Sure Maria and thank you very much
Good morning María,
How are you today? I hope you feel better.

I understood all the adjectives except when Anathea says thar her husband "gone grey", I didin't know how ravishing is written; when Brenda says "arsty" and when Quann says "Italian" and "hyper" (he has a difficult accent.
Regards.
