English Exercises Project

This project stores simple English exercises for one student who is learning from a very early beginner level (A0).

Goal

• keep all learned themes in one place
• create new exercises only from already learned grammar
• allow a little new vocabulary when tasks stay easy
• save materials in small Markdown files by theme

Suggested structure

ex/
  theme-01-basics-review/
    README.md
    grammar/
    vocab/
    mixed/
    answers.md

How to use this project

1. Update learned-themes.md after each lesson.
2. Create a new theme-XX-... folder when a new topic or review block starts.
3. Put short exercises into separate files.
4. Keep instructions very easy and clear.
5. Add an answer key in answers.md and encrypt it with SOPS.

Exercise design rules

• student level: literal A0 / beginner
• one small skill per task
• short instructions
• simple sentence models
• grammar only from learned themes
• new words are allowed if the task is still easy

Current content

• learned-themes.md - current learned material
• ex/theme-01-basics-review/ - first review pack with beginner exercises

Theme exercise bank

New theme folders can follow this structure:

ex/
  theme-02-to-be/
    practice-01.md
    practice-02.md
    answers.md

Rules for the theme bank:

• each theme has at least 6 mini-exercises
• exercises stay at literal A0 level
• use source-inspired formats: matching, choosing, gap fill, sorting, short answers
• if a source pattern is too hard, simplify it
• if no source pattern matches the level, create a very simple custom exercise
