Chapter 9 of 9
Work, Health and Weather
- 10 lessons
- Available
This chapter is about everyday life at work, at the health center and outdoors. You learn to say what you work as, where it hurts and how to book a time, talk about the weather and what to wear, and compare things with -are, än and -ast.
Eight short lessons take one step each, from jobs to a longer message that moves from the past to now and on to a plan. A reading text about Noor's new job, a phone call to the health center 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.
