Novice (W 0): Prefunctional Proficiency writing

At this level you are mostly practicing the writing system, rather than using it for functional purposes.

Your reading and writing goals will probably mirror your listening goals in this situation. Aim to write in the International Phonetic Alphabet the words you are learning and to read them afterwards.
