Pets & Animals

In this ESL beginner-level lesson, you will learn adjectives, colors, names, grammar, vocabulary, and phrases to talk about everyday English topics: an English conversation lesson to talk about Pets & Animals around the world.

This ESL lesson also comes with a downloadable PDF you can access when you are a member of Pocket Passport.

This ESL video lesson for daily English will help ESL students learn vocabulary, grammar, improve listening and be confident English speakers.

Practical English for everyday situations. A natural next step after this lesson is to go back and practice Self Introductions again since after you have the vocabulary you need to talk about pets and animals, it’s natural to include it your introduction (of course this is only IF you have a pet or love animals!) If not, why not check out and challenge yourself to Describe People’s Appearance. A very useful lesson to learn how to describe people.
