    Hi! I have problems to download the two audio files. It is possible to download them?

    Thanks.

    Hi Sofia,

    Thanks for your feedback. Are you referring just to the two teachers notes documents? If so, these are ‘downloadable’ content so yes we are happy for you to download them/print them off and give them to the teachers as long as they are provided ‘as is’ and not edited in any way.

    If you are referring to the audio, then we would need to check the paperwork for the specific recordings.

    Hope that helps,

    Best wishes,

    The onestopenglish team

    What is your copyright law? I would like to download these lessons and use them in developing countries where I go and teach english in a voluntary position. Can I leave the lesson plans with the teachers in these countries?

    The rationale for teaching upper-case letters first is explained in the teacher's notes. We hope you all enjoy this series!

    I really welcome material for absolute beginners and the different lesson plans for Roman script/no roman script are brilliant but why do the worksheets and alphabet use capital letters? It's better that students use lower case letters and learn capitals later.
