The Powerpoint Presentations
These are available to you in two forms below - on the internet with animation and sound and as a pdf file without animation and sound. If you work in the pdf. format, remember that, if you do an exercise from a linked website, you can always get back to where you left the presentation by using the small arrow keys at the bottom of the screen.

You can practise all the Internet exercises in the presentation and try them as often as you want until you are satisfied that you can do them correctly. Further exercises are given in the Additional Links column on the right for each week. Even more exercises can be found by clicking on Internet exercises. For many of them you will need to use ALT + numbers for accents. Use the Accented characters link for these.
