Mondial example sentences, part 8: Families and illness

Today's Mondial example sentences are about asking people about their families, and what to say when you have an illness. I have added another page (about 200 words) to the dictionary as well in spite of the lack of time during the week, and we are up to évêque (episcope) now. Steady progress.
