Say hello, tell people your name, and where you are from.
First, we remember. Each lesson starts here, reviewing the words that are ready to come back — a little today, a little in a few days, so they stick for good.
Read it slowly. Say the words out loud.
Today is a big day. Mia is in a new city. She has a big suitcase.
She is happy. She is a little nervous, too.
A man waves. "Hello!" he says.
"Hi!" says Mia.
"My name is Tom," says the man. "Nice to meet you. What's your name?"
"My name is Mia. I'm from Italy," says Mia.
"Nice to meet you, Mia. Welcome!" says Tom.
Mia smiles. Her new life starts today. 🌤️
Tap a card to see its meaning. These eight go into your review deck — you'll meet them again in the next lessons, exactly when you're about to forget them.
One tiny piece of grammar powers this whole lesson: the verb to be.
To ask, we turn it around:
Mia introduced herself. Now you do it. Fill the gaps, then say it out loud three times.
Tap a card to check yourself, then rate how well you knew it.
Now YOU are in the story!
Your teacher is Tom. Speak your lines — don't write them.
Tom: "Hello! I'm Tom."
You: (say hello and your name)
Tom: "Nice to meet you!"
You: (say it back to him)
Tom: "Where are you from?"
You: (say your country)
Tom: "Welcome! Goodbye, Mia!"
You: (say goodbye)
Now YOU are Tom, and your teacher is Mia. But this time YOU say hello first, and YOU ask the questions.
