Review: Hello, English
Hello, my dear student!
Hello, my dear student!
You have finished the first module. Seven lessons ago you were learning the letters; now you can spell your name, say your phone number, greet people, follow an English teacher and understand what IELTS is. That is a real start.
This lesson is a review. First read the short guide, then do the exercises. If something feels hard, go back to that lesson and write the mistake in your notebook. Then the next module will feel easy.

The top mistakes of this module

Good night is only for goodbye. To say hello in the evening: Good evening.
Not: Nice to see you. (the first time)Say: Nice to meet you.(Tanishganimdan xursandman.)
Meet = the first time. See = you already know the person.
Not: P, two L, … (for “pull”)Say: P, U, double L.
Two same letters together: say double.
Not: I have 25 years.Say: I am 25 years old.
In English, age uses be: I am … years old.

With understand, use don’t.
