🏘️ Where Do You Live?

⏱ 5 minutes · 📚 CELTA-informed · 🎯 Cambridge A2

📖 From the teacher’s desk: Saint-Pierre is the second-largest town in La Réunion — it has a beach, a market, a harbour, and some wonderful restaurants. Moving here from Sydney, I had to quickly learn all the town vocabulary in French first! Now I love teaching the same vocabulary in English, helping my students describe their own hometowns with pride.

🎯 By the end of this lesson, you can: name 10 places in a town and say where things are.
