Welcome to a very important lesson! Perhaps one of the most important lessons, if I do say so myself.
This lesson will be all about the という pattern. We'll recap what we already know about it, and then start to add on various fun, and super useful usages. How's that sound? WA-HOO!

1.2
「それはパンだ」と彼らは言った。
