An overview is given of weak interaction physics of the light flavours. It starts with the definition of the CKM matrix and the measurement of its components in the light-flavour sector via semi-leptonic decays. The main part of the lectures is devoted to non-leptonic decays with a main emphasis on analytical calculations of K→ππ and K0↔ \kob mixing. It finishes with an overview of Chiral Perturbation Theory in K→3π and of rare Kaon decays.
