Talk about dates: first, second, twenty-first.
Before the new story, let's bring back your words from Lessons 1 and 2. The ones ready to review are waiting here — a little today, a little in a few days.
Read it slowly. Say the words out loud.
Mia has a secret. Rosa's birthday is on the twenty-first of May! 🎂
Mia looks at the calendar. She circles the day with a red pencil.
"When is it?" asks Tom quietly. "The first Friday," whispers Mia.
They plan a surprise. A cake, some flowers, and all Rosa's friends.
On the twenty-first, Rosa comes to work. The café is dark. Then — SURPRISE! 🎉
There is a big cake with candles. Everyone sings. Rosa cries happy tears.
"This is the best birthday!" she says. "Thank you all!" 🎈
Tap a card to see its meaning. These eight join your review deck — next to the words from Lessons 1 and 2.
Look at the pattern, then use it.
Think about important days. Fill the gaps, then say them out loud.
Tap to check yourself, then rate how well you knew each one.
Now YOU are in the story. Rosa's big day is coming!
Your teacher is Tom. Speak your lines — don't write them.
Tom: "Psst, Mia! When is Rosa's big day?"
You: (say the date — the day and the month, the way you learned)
Tom: "So soon! What do we need for the party?"
You: (say two or three party things from your Words)
Tom: "And when Rosa opens the door — what do we all do?"
You: (say what kind of party it is and what everyone does when she comes in)
Now YOU are Tom, and your teacher is Mia. But this time the plan is for Ana's day in June, and you want a picnic in the park, not a party in the café.
