Version 1 offers the original audio from the first version on elllo when there was one interview for every day of the month. These activities are less interactive than more curent versions but are there are many good interviews that are interesting to listen to and fun to read as well. They also contain a quiz to check comprehension.

The audio from 1 to 200 is lower quality audio. This audio is good for people who need to practice phone English.
