Language Study
I hope to be constantly adding information to this page as I find it. If anyone wants to share resources or suggestions for content, leave a comment below.
Vocabulary
Here is a set of vocabulary with illustrations based on a specific topic. One note though, the PDFs are sized in the European-standard paper size, which is A4. I can’t convert this to letter so if people in North America are printing this the bottom may be cut off. Sorry.
- A house
These ten pages contain vocabulary for rooms in a house and items they usually contain. (1.3MB in size) - A town and shopping
Four pages of a town complete with busy streets and lots to identify. Also shopping in a grocery store with a page devoted to common food items. Yep. This one is helpful!! (670 KB). - Fruits, vegetables, and flowers
In continuing with the grocery store and shopping theme, here are three pages of fruits, vegetables, and flowers (537 KB).
