Unit 1B: One World (Nationalities) (A1)

 This lesson is about nationalities and you can work with them in many ways, but first keep in mind (ten en cuenta) they always start with a capital letter, as you can see in these examples:

• Peter is British; he's from London. He speaks English, German and French. He lives in France.

This rule is for nationalities and languages and there are NO exceptions.

Let's start with some activities to practise with this vocabulary:

• How to pronounce different countries and nationalities: click here.
• If you want to know the rules for nationalities, go to this link
• If your country and nationality aren't in the exercises before, this list will help you.
• And this last exercise is to check where to stress nationalities: click here

We're also working with the TO BE. Let's practise with it becaus it's a very important verb:

• It's an AUXILIARY verb so you use it for questions and negative forms:
• Is he Egyptian?    No, he isn't. He's Moroccan
• It has more meanings than in Spanish; sometimes it means tener /hacer as you can see in these examples:
• I'm 27 (years old)     it's cold today        she's sleepy        the baby's hungry

As we're going to celebrate Erasmus Day next week (15th, 16th and 17th of October), can you try to do this exercise about the countries which form the European Union? Go to this link.
