This part of the course deals with basic things you need to know to study English. If you're familiar with the things discussed here you'll be able to move on to the next unit quickly. If not, you need to spend some time here. There are a lot of "Compulsory assignment" in this unit, which means you have to read the page, but there's not always something to submit.

You also have to assess yourself and think about how to study. What are your weak points and your strong points? There are questions and a grammar test to help you with that.

What am I supposed to know after this unit?

  • Some ideas about how to learn new words, how to study
  • How to use a dictionary
  • Some phonetics (in order to know how to pronounce new words)
  • How to introduce myself and other people
  • Some resources on the net

What do I do now?

Start with the assessments and then think about how to work with this course. And don't worry, you'll make it! This unit is perhaps not exciting all the time but remember the novels are just around the corner!
