You know that feeling when something finally works and you want to shout about it? Well, this is one of those moments!

After creating my first educational app, I wanted to explore a little further. Could I create activities specifically for my adult beginners and run them directly on my own blog?

Today, I tested the result on a draft page. It worked. And yes, there may have been a little shouting!

Meet One, Two… More!, an interactive A1 app created with ChatGPT to practise singular and plural nouns, there is / there are, and the prepositions on, in and under.

The app takes learners through short explanations followed by activities to check their understanding. It includes:

• Plural forms: regular -s and -es, consonant + y, irregular forms such as children and teeth, and words such as scissors and trousers.
• Vocabulary practice: picture matching, sorting, spelling and completion.
• Grammar: a/an, there is / there are, sentence building and error correction.
• Listening: short descriptions followed by a choice between two pictures.
• A final challenge: bringing the language together to describe a picture in writing and aloud.

The listening is one of my favourite parts. Learners hear a sentence such as “There is a laptop under the table” and choose the matching image. A small task, but one with a clear purpose: listen, understand and identify the meaning.

Students can replay, get a hint and try again. They can take the time they need without feeling that everybody else is waiting for them.

For me, this is the exciting part: being able to build practice around what my students are learning and what they need help with. The technology gives me another way to turn those teaching decisions into something they can use independently.

A huge thank you again to Cristina Cabal, whose energy, knowledge and generosity during our app-creation session set this adventure in motion. And thank you to ChatGPT for helping me turn my ideas (and my rather particular design preferences!) into a working resource.

Pastel colours, clear pictures, useful practice and room to make mistakes. That is very much our style.

Now for the most interesting test of all: seeing how my students get on with it!
