Our students already know and understand a wide array of structures and vocabulary that are appropriate to their level. However, when it comes to speaking, they seem to forget a great deal of it and tend to resort to more basic structures than they should be using at that stage of their learning process.

With our materials, students will activate their passive knowledge. Through training and practice, that is, thinking and talking in the foreign language, we can move knowledge into the active area, making our learning more effective. At the end of the day, that is our ultimate goal.
