What you can do at level 1

• Introducing yourself: giving your name, age and nationality.
• Counting, telling the time and giving a date.
• Naming familiar objects, people and places.
• Understanding a simple instruction and being able to write it.

Grammar points to revise

• The plural and simple linking of nouns, and the basic forms of adjectives.
• Simple yes/no questions, formed with intonation or with the question endings.
