Ulysseus English Beginner 2

This self-paced language course continues where English Beginner 1 left off, teaching users more of the basics of the English language.   

 

If you haven’t yet done English beginner 1, you may want to start there.  It covers essential vocabulary and grammar, and will introduce you to our protagonist, Ana Vazquez. 

 

In English Beginner 2, Ana attends an arts conference in London.  She will meet new people and learn new things.  By the end of this course, you will be able to do everything Ana can do–including describing herself and her family, her daily routines, her preferences, and the weather.  Learn as you follow her story at your own pace.
