LEVEL: BEGINNER/INTERMEDIATE - A2 — 12pm PT / 3pm ET

🎈Who were the first humans to ever fly? 🔥🪽- Flying had long been a dream of humankind. Yet it was only in the 18th century—the Age of Enlightenment, when science became a source of deep fascination—that this dream turned into reality. Thanks to the Montgolfier brothers who discovered that a balloon filled with hot air could rise above the colder air of the atmosphere. This simple but revolutionary insight made it possible for humans, for the first time in history, to leave the ground and take flight.

#### Preparation:
