Beginner English: Places and Getting Around

This Voxy course uses places and movement as the basis for beginner language practice. Describing a location leads into navigation and travel tasks. It suits learners who want to turn a small existing vocabulary into clearer questions and directions.

What you will learn

• Describe familiar places in simple English.
• Ask for and follow basic directions.
• Use everyday travel expressions.

Who this suits

Learners with A1 English, following the provider’s stated entry requirement.
