In this program, students learn, review, and build their grammar through conversation, exploring examples, and creative speaking exercises. As your level increases you’ll be able to use every verb tense comfortably and confidently, you’ll also be able to use advanced grammar patterns to clearly emphasize your ideas, and you’ll start to identify and eliminate any persistent errors you make while speaking.
