This language course (I am being thematic) says it aims to teach you language to use “in some situations regularly encountered at work, educational settings, leisure centres and while travelling abroad.”

Of course: the four main settings every language learner is concerned with.

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die,
And one for the Leisure Centre.
