Level 2
D’rabiari Rébékase
Rebecca’s Birthday
0 / 8 chapters complete
Welcome back
Level 2 picks up where Level 1 ended
Wiliem still eats his wheat, but now there’s something bigger coming: his sister Rébéka’s birthday. Over eight chapters he hunts for the biggest bowl at the market, finds a special book at the bookstore, and finally sits down with his family under the stars.
The scenes are a little longer, and so is the grammar. You’ll learn to compare, give dates, join sentences with who, which and where, use the passive, say must and may, talk about yourself and each other, and ask questions with prepositions.
The layout is the same as Level 1: story on the left, words, grammar and a quick exercise on the right.
