I want to know what your goals are so we can design classes to meet your specific needs.
Classes will follow a path of starting out with some warm-up conversation or exercises - to promote code-switching and thinking in English. Then we will include a range of activities to promote language learning for you. These activities will build on, practice, and review English.
Classes are topically based for high interest and fun.

You will learn at least beginner level english. You will learn grammer, words, numbers, how to introduce yourself, how to start a conversation. We first learn the alphabet and pronounciation for each letter then begin learning how to say words then end with grammer and sentences.
