Getting Started


Family English requires a few basic computer programs and pieces of equipment. You probably already have these, but here is a checklist.

Family English works best with Internet Explorer. It does not work well with some browsers like Firefox, and I do not know the reason why. If you need Internet Explorer, download it from here for free.

Each lesson is built with Flash. You probably already have this program. You might need to upgrade your Flash player. Get your free Flash player upgrade here.

Each lesson comes with a worksheet you can download. Each worksheet is a PDF file. You probably already have a PDF reader. If you need one, download it from here for free.

You will need a black and white printer and speakers attached to your computer. Unfortunately, those cannot be downloaded for free.

But, you can join for free. Click "Free Lessons."
