About this course

Each lesson teaches one small piece of language through a situation (a classroom, a family, a shop, a street), then practises it in speaking, reading and writing. Young learners and adults use the same lessons; the examples are everyday and age-neutral. The course ends with a "Welcome to my town" project and a short shopping role-play.

Academy-authored content.

Course highlights

  • Say and spell the alphabet, recognise common sound–letter patterns (short vowels, sh, ch, th, /p/ vs /b/), and use numbers 1–100
  • Greet people, introduce yourself and others, and ask and answer personal questions with be and possessive adjectives
  • Describe people, things and places with articles, plurals, this/these/that/those, adjectives, have got, possessive 's, there is/are and prepositions of place
  • Talk about daily routines, days, dates and the time with the present simple and adverbs of frequency
  • Talk about ability and what is happening now, give instructions and make polite requests (can, imperatives, present continuous)
  • Handle everyday transactions: food and quantities (some/any, how much/many), prices, directions and wh- questions
  • Read short notices and messages for key information, and write a short message with correct capitals, full stops and and/but
  • Talk about the past with was/were and the past simple of regular and common irregular verbs
