This chapter is about family days. You learn the last form of a noun, as in bilarna, say our and their with vår and deras, use months and dates, describe what people look like and say more about a person with som.
Eight short lessons take one step each, from the definite plural to någon and ingen, telling a story in order and the sounds of rt, rs and ng. A reading text about a birthday party, a dialogue about family photos and the full chapter vocabulary follow.
Every lesson in this chapter is a written page. Read them in order, or open any lesson from the list.
