Lesson 12 - Counting from 0 to 10



JenniferESL: Lesson 12 - Counting from 0 to 10 - Learn English with Jennifer

These are REAL lessons. No actors. No scripts. A real learning experience.

Do you know a friend or family member who needs to learn English? Tell them they can learn along with Natasha as I teach her the basics of the English language.

I will not be posting captions (subtitles) on these early lessons. I want beginners to develop their listening skills. I will write important information on the board. Happy Studies to all!
