Types of Exercises

There are six basic types of exercises that you will find in the English Course/ Englischkurs: photo story, pick and place, scrambled sentence, multiple choice, fill in the blanks, and picture choice. Note: Photo story exercises do not keep a score or have answers. These are designed to help you practice conversations and pronouncing words, phrases and sentences.
