We will use everyday situations like travel, shopping, health and where you live to learn how to say and spell new words. We will practice short conversations, and listening for information, to help you talk to your neighbours, go to appointments by yourself, or join in with local groups. We will learn some spelling and grammar rules, practice filling in forms and writing short sentences. We will also practice reading different texts and finding information to help you feel more independent.
