As the General (A), this course makes up the theoretical information –elaborated from the most advanced perspective of linguistic studies– with practical exercises and the continual participation of the student. Thus permitting the beginner to know a new language and put it to use. Starting from an intermediate level, he will begin to speak with fluency and correctness due to the adaptability of the method. At an advanced level the student’s language becomes more profound. All the students, whatever level, enjoy the language from the first day on.

Since it is the General (A) course with two more hours of lessons, a special point will be made in specific difficulties of the language and of the student.
