The A1 beginner course, anchored to the Cambridge A1 Movers exam. Twenty-six chapters, one story per chapter, 100 minutes of podcast audio, a 20-unit exam ability lab — and everything you read, hear and play is built from the same chapter, so nothing is ever above your level.
The numbers are the route: lesson and ebook first, then ears before eyes — listen to the episode before the transcript tasks — and the game seals the chapter.
Eight blocks: warm-up, the verb to be, 14 words, the story, speaking, writing, exit check. Teachers: flip the overlay toggle.
Open the ebook → 2Two voices, six parts, the story read aloud. Listen before you touch the tasks — ears first! (Audio in production; the script is on the page.)
Listen → 3The story and the Episode 1 script with numbered tasks, signals and PT legends — done after the first listen, part by part.
Do the tasks → 4Play as Daniel. Nine scenes, two friends to make, three stars to win — using only Chapter 1 English.
Play →Little and often beats long and rare. Two tiny habits, right here: your words come back on the day your memory needs them, and your streak keeps you honest (one missed day is forgiven each week).
Minhas palavras de hoje — repetição espaçada: a palavra volta no dia certo.
Minha sequência — toque quando praticar (ouvir, ler, jogar — vale tudo!).
One continuous story: every chapter is an episode of Daniel's year at Park School. Children come back for the story — the exam English rides along.
Tick your shields on the story page first — then claim your star and print your certificate. Termine os escudos na página da história, depois imprima seu certificado!
