The A2 course, anchored to the Cambridge A2 Key exam. Ten units of Postcards from Britain — Tom, a London bus driver for thirty years, and Nila from the radio, take you around real Britain in 100 minutes of podcast audio. Everything you read, hear and play is built from the same unit, so nothing is ever above your level — and a separate 20-week exam track takes you to the certificate.
The numbers are the route: e-book first, then ears before eyes — listen to the episode before the transcript tasks — and the game seals the unit. Finished with a unit? It stays open on the line below.
Unit 2 “The Family on the Money”: the palace, the guards, 15 words — and the present continuous. The full interactive e-book.
Open the e-book → 2Zaid at the Changing of the Guard, then the Culture File: 775 rooms, Windsor, and the face on your change. Ears first! (Audio in production; the script is on the page.)
Listen → 3The full Episode 2 script, word for word, with the unit's vocabulary and every present continuous highlighted — and numbered tasks with signals and PT legends.
Do the tasks → 4Be Zaid at the palace gates: nine scenes, one perfect question, a flag to read — and a coin that makes you neighbours with the King.
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 unit, one postcard, one piece of real Britain. Ride the line with Tom and Nila — units open as they are authored.
