This chapter is about your family and your home. You learn to talk about the people close to you, say how old someone is, name the rooms and things in a home, say whose something is and say where things are.
The first five lessons explain the grammar and the new words in English, each with short Swedish examples, and the sixth shows how the vowels a, o, å and u sound. Next come a short reading text and a dialogue set in a home, and the vocabulary page with all the new words of the chapter.
Every lesson in this chapter is a written page. Read them in order, or open any lesson from the list.
