English A1 — survival grammar
A1 is elementary British English: you can handle simple present, daily life, and short questions — then you produce, not only tap.
Who A1 English is for
You already know hello and numbers, or you finished A0. You cannot yet tell a story in the past. A1 is survival: routine, food, place, ability.
What you work on in English A1
Present simple; can/can’t; there is/are; daily routine; food and drink; time; possessive ’s; asking the way; short personal answers.
Academy drills lock articles and verb forms. Speaking and writing nodes ask you to use the same language, not invent a chat.
How this English floor runs
Thirty modules. Each is three sessions plus a roundup. You see British English, analyse it, then write or speak that floor — speaking sits inside the lesson, not in a side chat.
Pass the tier exam (no energy cost) to open the next CEFR gate. If this is the wrong floor, onboarding can send you to a placement exam. The skill tree adds grammar, speaking, writing, and listening drills after each roundup.
