| » | language is a system of communication and not just a set of rules. This is why we do not teach just grammar, but the whole language. |
| » | learning is an active process, and that the learner has to take responsibility for his/her own learning. |
| » | language learning requires a lot of practice. This is why we ask you to speak a lot in class. |
| » | language learning involves the whole person, not just analysis of rules. This is why we ask you to talk about all aspects of the world. |
| » | language ability is made up of a variety of skills, and this we why we do not focus on single language skills |
| » | an effective learning takes place in a comfortable environment. This is why the classes may feel more relaxed than you are used to. |
| » | everyone is different, and this is why we will take time to get to know you personally, so that we can better help you to learn. |
