New term, New start


If this does not work for you, then the problem is that the language is not truly communicative. If you are working within a system where you are expected to relay pre-set information - "Ask for a single ticket to Faro" - you may be talking but you are not communicating unless you are using the words you need to say in a situation you can really imagine you may encounter.

I am OK with talking about flying to Faro - I may soon go there again - but if you intend to visit potential new in-laws in Brazil, imagine yourself travelling within that country or buying a plane ticket there to travel back home. Make your learning real.

The original ten-week learning plan starts here but will be fleshed out with lessons and exercises for the rest of this term.

Any questions you have, any help or advice you want, please do not hesitate to ask. Back to home page
