Chapter 4 of 9
Everyday Choices
- 9 lessons
- Available
This chapter is about everyday choices in a café and a shop. You learn to say prices and numbers up to 1000, talk about more than one thing, say what you want, can, may and must do, order politely, describe and point to things, ask how many and how much, and see how five more vowels are said.
Seven lessons each take one idea, explain it in English and show it in short Swedish examples. After them you find a reading text and a dialogue at a café counter, and the chapter ends with its vocabulary, including the plurals of words you already know.
Every lesson in this chapter is a written page. Read them in order, or open any lesson from the list.
