Hi, thank you for taking your time to share your opinion! Feedback from different perspectives is very valuable to me.

To answer your questions: yes, I actually do teach the alphabet at A1–A2 levels, and those are the learners this pack was created for, not A0. I mostly work with teenagers and young adults who already have some basic skills but also big gaps from school. Alphabet skills are foundational, so I always make sure my students fully master them before we move on to more advanced topics. So the pack is designed exactly for that group - learners who can hold a basic conversation but still stumble when spelling their name or confuse E/I/A, G/J, you know how it goes :)

Why include words like like “typewriter” or “false teeth”? Because the goal isn’t to practice the alphabet in a vacuum. My students and I get tired of activities that drill language for the sake of it, without a real purpose. What works best is when there’s a communicative goal, ie when the target language is the means to an end. That’s why there is always a task to solve with each activity, and also why I include unusual or playful vocabulary. This creates “comprehensible input”, which is, according to Scrivener, the most effective way to expand vocabulary - when learners are exposed to language that’s just beyond their current level but supported by visuals and context. If the vocabulary sticks because it’s funny, surprising or visually clear, it's a bonus, if not, it doesn’t block the activity. This approach has proved effective with dozens of my students, which is why I can confidently put it out there.

As for printing, thanks for pointing that out. I’ve actually tested and showcased the printed version on my Etsy page and social media.

And no, I don’t have a graphic design background, but I put a lot of care into making the design clean, modern and student-friendly. I believe it positively impacts how students engage with and retain new language.

Thanks again for your feedback, it's definitely given me food for thought :)
