Unit Introduction

Learning English starts with personal information because it’s about YOU! In this unit, you will learn words about your name, address, phone number, birthday, and more. You will see pictures, read example sentences, copy them, and make your own sentences. By practicing this way, you will read, write, speak, and listen to English from the very first lesson.
