👀 Understand location through visual clues

Each scene shows a person in relation to a familiar object such as a table, sofa, box, staircase, tree or chair. The visual context helps beginners understand meaning before they write, reducing the need for translation.

After selecting the right preposition from three choices, learners reuse it in a full sentence. This progression moves from recognition to accurate written production.
