Being able to accurately hear, recognize, remember, and repeat exactly what has been said word for word are the most critical abilities for learning a new language. Understanding and knowing how to correctly make the sounds of the language you are learning is the key to developing those abilities. In this part of our course, you will learn to listen to sentences spoken by your teacher and repeat those sentences with perfect recall and crystal clear pronunciation. This is very difficult for every English student in the beginning as they cannot remember every word said nor are they able to create every sound correctly. However, we start with simple sets of sentences, reviewing the same ones over again each day until you have mastered them before moving on to the next sets. This is a slow process in the beginning since you will have to learn to pronounce every word correctly and clearly, repeat every sentence 100% accurately, and be able to do it again the following day. The sentences get longer and more complex over time, yet they get easier as your pronunciation improves and your brain begins to recognize the pattern of the English language and you begin to develop 'a natural feel' for the expressions. This beginning process is the most important part of the entire course, because everything else you will ever learn will rest on the foundation you create here by doing these exercises.

For the student to improve quickly, a lot of individual attention must be given. That is why we recommend that students study this course 1-on-1 with their teacher instead of joining a group. The amount of actual talking time you have is crucial to improving quickly and accurately. When studying 1-on-1, most students show steady improvement after only 1 week of daily instruction using this technique. After 1 month, their pronunciation is dramatically improved and their perception of the English language begins to transform. After 3 months of doing these daily exercises, students speak far more clearly than they ever had before and develop 'a natural feel' for the English language which makes improving in all other areas far easier. Vocabulary, spelling, grammar, listening, reading, writing, comprehension and conversation are all made easier by studying this part of our course.
