We don't teach the language, but how to communicate in it.

How to learn to speak a foreign language? There is only one way: talk, talk and talk. At the heart of our approach to learning a foreign language is communication; namely the assimilation of grammar, vocabulary and other aspects of the language in the process of communication. We know from our experience that the most difficult and scary thing for many students is the first time they have to speak a foreign language. Therefore, we teach fluent communication from the very first lesson, helping to avoid the language barrier. Using the most modern methods and materials, as well as our experience and charisma, we manage to create an effective learning process and an exciting and motivating atmosphere in the classroom.
