Getting started with English at the A2 level means building on foundational knowledge to communicate more confidently in everyday situations. This course, taught by Dina Pedraza — a TEFL-certified teacher with over seven years of experience in business and technology industries — focuses on practical questions and answers that will strengthen your grammar, vocabulary, and listening skills [0:06].
What grammar topics will you study in this A2 English course?
The course covers a wide range of essential grammar points designed to help you express yourself clearly. Here is what you can expect to practice:
- Negative forms of the past simple: learn how to say what you did not do in the past.
- Determiners: small but important words that go before nouns to specify quantity or reference.
- Present continuous: describe actions happening right now using the -ing form of verbs.
- Regular and irregular verbs in the past: understand the difference between verbs like "worked" and "went" [1:00].
Beyond these core topics, you will also work with prepositions of place, which help you describe where things are located, and expressions of time, which allow you to talk about when events happen.
How do you talk about preferences in English?
One practical skill covered is expressing what you enjoy or dislike. You will use verbs like like, love, and hate followed by verbs ending in -ing. For example: "I love reading" or "She hates waiting." This structure is essential for casual conversations and personal descriptions [0:52].
What is the difference between "how much" and "how many"?
Asking about quantity is a key part of everyday English. "How much" is used with uncountable nouns — things you cannot count individually, such as water or money. "How many" pairs with countable nouns, like books or people. Practicing these questions helps you shop, cook, and plan with confidence [0:57].
How will you practice questions with "how often," "how long," and "how far"?
These three question words expand your ability to ask for specific information. "How often" asks about frequency, "how long" asks about duration, and "how far" asks about distance. Combined with wh- questions — who, what, where, when, why — and yes and no questions in the past, you build a strong toolkit for real conversations [1:17].
You will also learn how to use "want to" to express desires and intentions, and how to connect ideas smoothly using "and" along with the possessive 's [1:05].
What learning activities does the course include?
The course uses several interactive methods to reinforce each topic:
- Role plays: watch realistic dialogues that model natural English usage.
- Listening activities: sharpen your comprehension with varied audio exercises.
- Worksheets: practice grammar and vocabulary at your own pace.
- Questions and answers: review key structures through guided practice [1:30].
Adjectives also play an important role throughout the material, helping you describe people, places, and things with greater precision [1:22].
