English for ages 10 to 16
English to cross over with.
You learn a language by using it. Veer starts from a real situation, on a trip, in a game or in a message to a friend, and gives you the grammar and the words you need for it.
No ads, no tracking, no account needed. The learning path and the first three topics are free.
Trial run
Try it right away.
Try it: pick a verb and see what happens with he, she and it
After s, ss, sh, ch, x and o you write -es.
How a topic works
First the situation, then the rule, then your turn.
Every topic has the same four blocks, always in this order. So you always know where you are.
Why
A real situation where you need it: buying a ticket in Dover, a gamer from Leeds, an email to your pen friend.
See it or hear it
A picture you play with: build a verb, climb the ladder from big to biggest, click through a dialogue and have it read aloud.
Get it
The explanation in plain words, then the rule, English example sentences you can listen to and a worked example step by step.
Do it
Fill in, choose, build sentences, match and translate. When you make a mistake, you see which rule you broke. And a new exercise every time.
After that you read the pitfalls for Dutch speakers, where you meet it in real life, a little history of the language and what you need first or can learn next.
Four strands
From am, is, are to your first email.
Grammar
6 topics
To be, the present simple and continuous, the past simple, asking questions and can, must and have to.
Words
5 topics
Plurals and articles, possessives, comparing, prepositions and false friends for Dutch speakers.
Listening and speaking
3 topics
Numbers, the time and dates, asking the way and ordering or buying, with sentences you can listen to.
Reading and writing
2 topics
Reading a text for the main idea and writing a short message or an email.
Who it is for
For those who learn, help and teach.
For pupils
Start from a situation you know. Play with the picture, listen to the sentences and practise until it comes naturally. Mistakes are information, not punishment.
Start practisingFor parents
You don't need to be an English teacher yourself. Every topic explains it the way school does, reads the sentences aloud and gives a question to practise together at the table.
