In class, students will develop conversational skills and improve pronunciation by participating in class and group discussions. They will practise writing sentences, paragraphs and essays in order to improve their written expression.

The classes are divided into beginner, intermediate and advanced levels and there is a 1: 10 teacher to student ratio.
