Why this lesson matters · เหตุผลที่เรียนบทนี้

For learners: Use familiar town words to choose a place, follow a very simple route, and confirm that you arrived.

For teachers: Vocabulary and place language feed a short listening-and-route task, then one independent A1 mastery proof and a clear A2 next step.

สำหรับผู้เรียน: ใช้คำศัพท์สถานที่ในเมืองเพื่อเลือกจุดหมาย ทำตามเส้นทางง่าย ๆ และยืนยันว่าไปถึงถูกที่
สำหรับครู: เริ่มจากคำศัพท์และภาษาบอกสถานที่ เชื่อมสู่การฟังและทำตามเส้นทาง ก่อนพิสูจน์ผลลัพธ์ A1 และไปต่อระดับ A2

Your Goal

Understand what a visitor needs, choose the right familiar place, follow and repeat a three-step route, and confirm the final place.

เป้าหมายภาษาไทย

เข้าใจว่าผู้มาเยือนต้องการไปที่ใด เลือกสถานที่คุ้นเคยที่เหมาะสม ทำตามและพูดซ้ำเส้นทางสามขั้นตอน และยืนยันจุดหมายปลายทาง
