An easy and fun way to learn a foreign language.

Program

DEMO classroom

¡EMPEZAMOS!

Content

We have prepared a DEMO classroom for you to see what e-classrooms look like and what you can expect from the others. We are sure that you will be impressed by our way of teaching a foreign language. Remember that the best way to learn a foreign language is a combination of independent e-learning and learning with a teacher. Therefore, if you want an increased effect of independent learning, we recommend attending a language course either live or online.

In the DEMO classroom, you will take your first steps into the Spanish world. You will learn some basic phrases in Spanish and be able to express how you feel. In the end, you will be able to say why you would like to learn Spanish and you will learn useful phrases for communication. You will also master some basic verbs, including the conjugation of the verb TO BE. Finally, you will be able to listen to one Spanish song and solve the exercises based on what you have heard.

In the e-classrooms, we combine closed-type and open-type tasks: drag and drop, fill in the blanks, True or false?, interactive videos, choose the correct answer, tasks related to a music video and much more. The tasks are accompanied by audio and video clips, which will help you practice pronunciation.
