Practise introducing yourself, spelling your name, talking about your family, describing your home, naming everyday objects, and asking basic questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also useful to practise the days of the week and months of the year until you can say them confidently. For travel, learn a few essential phrases that you can use immediately, such as asking for directions, buying tickets, asking about prices, and asking someone to repeat information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most importantly, <strong>do not be afraid of making mistakes<\/strong>. Mistakes are a normal part of learning a language. Practise a little every day, read simple English, listen to short conversations, and try to speak whenever you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With regular practice, these basic A1.1 skills will give you a strong foundation for progressing to A1.2 and eventually A2 English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learning English at A1.1 level is about building a strong foundation.
