Lesson Two: Daily Routine

 

In this lesson you will learn some common vocabulary for daily routines. We will follow Kristian through a typical day. You will also learn noun forms, modal verbs, some expressions of time, and the numbers from 1-12.. You will also learn forms for several more common verbs which deal with daily routine. You will continue to practice pronunciation as you practice the vowels and learn the new vocabulary for this lesson.
