Practice these words
Six scrambles taken from the list above. Each one opens in the unscrambler with the letters already entered, so you can try it in your head first and then check.
To practice a set you choose yourself, paste your own words into the scramble maker and print a sheet with an answer key. If you are a teacher, the worksheet library has ready-made sets with a classroom procedure attached.
Teachers: the activity pack generator builds a printable classroom activity from any level and topic, with an answer key.
Study notes for A1
Two habits matter more than anything else at A1.
Say the word while you read it. The syllable break in the first column is there for this. A beginner who reads silently learns a shape on a page; a beginner who says teach·er out loud learns a word they can use on Monday.
Learn words in groups, not alphabetically. The lists below are grouped by topic for that reason. Ten food words learned together stay together. Ten unrelated words learned on the same day compete with each other and most are gone by the weekend.
One warning about spelling. At A1 many words are short, and short words are the hardest to unscramble, because there are so few possible arrangements that several of them spell something. If a puzzle looks impossible, count the letters — three-letter words are genuinely harder than six-letter ones.
Where to go next
When most of this list is familiar, move up to A2 vocabulary. Do not wait until you know every word — the bands overlap, and the fastest way to consolidate one level is to start meeting the next.
All six bands are explained on the levels page. The unscrambler shows the band on every learner entry, so any learner word you look up tells you roughly how hard it is. Teachers matching these bands to a national curriculum may want the Thai curriculum mapping.
