Introduction

When learning any language, I believe that once a learner has started to grap the sound system, they should dive straight into short, practical phrases and sentences that you are able to try out almost immediately if you have any opportunity to speak with a native speaker.    I don’t think that learning lists of words

Many of the sentences in this course are taken from my “100 Sentence Project” which was a list of high frequency sentence patterns that I hear and use all the time and think should be prioritized for learners. In these lessons, there are a number of  examples for each sentence pattern.  Some lessons have a bit of explanation, but some should be straightforward enough that you can just look at the meaning and examples.   I prefer to leave out explanations unless necessary as I’d rather you spend more time trying to hear and say the sentences correctly than reading notes in English from me.   If you have any questions about any of these sentences, feel free to send me message.

Lesson Progress Buttons

At the bottom of each lesson, you’ll see three buttons—New, Learning, and Known—to help you easily track your progress:

• New: This marks the lesson as untouched or ready to start. It resets the status if you want to go over the material again from scratch.

• Learning: Use this when you’re actively working on the lesson but haven’t fully mastered it yet. It’s a way to mark it as “in progress.”

• Known: Once you feel comfortable with the lesson and can recall the material confidently, mark it as Known to show it’s completed.

These buttons primarily change the background color of the lesson item in the navigation menu, giving you a quick visual overview of your progress on the lesson navigation menu.  You can switch between them at any time to fit your study flow.
