Colorful game for beginners -

(go to UlpanAlef)


The games are rather stupid, but there are
3 good things about it:

1.It uses some of the verbs from group IV! (in "the family" section)

2. If you've been missing topic-organized vocab lists - here is some, you can fill in the gaps concerning such word groups as "family", "food", "school", "time" etc.

3. Nice review - it's good to attack a language with different sources!
