Direct Method Speak.pl FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
IS THE METHOD SUITABLE FOR STRICT BEGINNERS?
Yes, even if your students only start to learn the language you can teach them with the Speak.pl method, in fact most of the students we have taught started from page one book one.
TO WHAT LEVEL DOES THE SPEAK.PL METHOD BRING THE STUDENTS AFTER THE COURSE IS COMPLETED?
Stages 11 and 12 of the set of books for every language in our offer contain vocabulary and grammar points approximately on the level of the first state egzam in that language, that is: ZD in German, DELF in French, DELE BASICO in Spanish, CILS in Italian and TRIKI in Russian.
WHAT ABOUT THE GRAMMAR?
The grammar is taught exactly in the same way as the vocabulary: it is introduced and explained by the teacher, repeated by the students, and immediately put to practise in succeeding questions and answers.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE THE STUDENT TO GO THROUGH THE WHOLE MATERIAL OF SPEAK.PL IF HE STARTS AT STAGE ONE?
It depends on the students: how fast they learn languages, whether they already know a foreign language or not, how often they have classes during the week. But the average time to cover the materials from all coursebooks, at the standard pace of 4 lessons a week (two meetings per two lessons) is between 18 to 24 months.
