About the unit
This unit reviews colours, family and numbers 1-20, the verb have, and further language covered in previous units. It also focuses on key classroom vocabulary and we see some of the Spanish children at school. Other new vocabulary introduced in this unit includes: parts of the body, and tu (your).
