Speaking! You will learn by speaking with us, and gradually, we’ll provide you with more tools to express yourself. Our courses primarily develop listening and speaking skills. This doesn’t mean you won’t learn to write correctly, but our main goal is for you to speak fluently and confidently

Classes are primarily conducted in the language you choose to learn. We use gestures, miming, and images to provide you with a fully immersive experience. 

We evaluate multiple aspects such as expression, fluency, and comprehension—passive skills that help us measure real progress. 

Additionally, we conduct both internal and external exams, which typically include written, oral, and listening comprehension components at the end of each semester. At the end of each semester, we provide a report card with your results and progress.
