What do I actually get?
One file per resource. It opens in any browser on a laptop, tablet or classroom board, with nothing to install and no student accounts.
Is there audio?
Yes. Native-speaker audio plays throughout, so students hear every word and phrase and practice saying it, not just reading it.
How are the levels meant to be used?
