PAGE DATE: 30 November 2012
 

Longer Term

  • Facility drills, targeted to revision of theory and phrasing.

  • Mini booklets of contractions, same as the existing short forms booklets.

  • Larger list of the commonest words

  • Fun/puzzles Section

  • Basic graded lessons for complete beginners with no prior knowledge, to give an overview and a working knowledge of all the rules. This will not replace working through any of the existing instruction books. The lesson pages will be solely on the website and of course free, not ones with personal contact and instruction.
