On this page you will find the story of “Madagascar” — a funny and exciting story about four zoo friends: Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Gloria the hippo, and Melman the giraffe, their comfortable life in the zoo, and their unexpected adventure in the wild on the island of Madagascar. Double-clicking a word will open its translation and audio pronunciation. Key words can be pinned in the trainer at the end of the page. Working with the words engages motor memory and helps you remember them better. Each section also includes an audio file in MP3 format for deeper analysis and for developing listening skills.
