CONVERSATION. The main purpose of a language is to communicate. For us communication is not only the final objective of studying: it is also daily classroom life. Everything is aimed at it. In clear contrast with traditional ways of teaching, our teachers are trained and prepared to give the student an active role. This constant practice makes sure that the student progresses rapidly in his ability to communicate and understand.

NEWS. The use of newspapers, specialist and non-specialist magazines.
