L-E-L - LEARN the ENGLISH LANGUAGE - BE IN CONTROL OF YOUR OWN LEARNING DESTINY.

Not TEFL - Choose LTEL.

The Basic Level.
This is your starting point to learning the English language.
 

You are not joining a school, you are becoming a member of a 

community to learn how to write English in the proper manner.

Some of this is very basic, like numbers, letters, but it's a good way to refresh your memory in terms of writing down these words and then constructing and writing your own sentences later on.

 

Stage 1.

Possibly, English is an easier language to learn as it does not have Masculine or Feminine words like in French, Spanish or Italian.

 

Man/Woman.

The man's bag. The woman's bag.

In French, items in the house, La Maison, are mainly feminine.

In the office, Le Bureau, the items are mainly masculine.

In English it is simply the house or the office. It is neither masculine nor feminine; even if the building contained only women or only men. It doesn't matter.

 

Let's start at some basics.
