News and current affairs – A2–B2 – 001
This deck builds the vocabulary you need to follow real news: political terms (minister, legislation, reform, alliance, ambassador) alongside conflict and disaster reporting (navy, missile, battlefield, refugee, drought). At A2-B2 level, its 35 words help you read news articles, watch broadcasts, and follow political debates with confidence. You'll recognize the language used when a story covers a law, an election, or international tension, and use it yourself in conversation. This is part one of a two-part series.
