Conversational English in 50 Lessons:
There is minimum discussion of grammatical terms.
There are no bound books to buy.
The student will receive the course in loose-leaf form,
lesson by lesson. As the lessons accumulate and the
student’s proficiency progresses, the lessons
will become the contents of a 3-ring binder. At the
end of the course, the student will have the printed
course in an organized form that he/she can use as a
point of reference in the future.
The emphasis is on the correct pronunciation of English
and the way English is spoken in conversation. Often,
English conversation includes many idioms and slang
words. Even if such idioms or slang words are grammatically
incorrect, the student needs to learn them in order
to participate in English conversation. The most frequently
used of these idioms and slang words are included in
the course. |

This course is a step-by-step process,
with homework for most lessons. Students are able to
speak and write complete English sentences after the
first three lessons.
Although there are 50 lessons, this does not mean that
the student will have 50 classes. If the student can
absorb the information, he/she will be taught as many
as three lessons in one class.

The pace of learning is entirely
dependent upon the student.
Although the primary objective is to be conversational
in English, it is important for adults in the
business world to also be able to read and write
English with ease. Reading and writing are a natural
by-product of the course, not its objective.
During the course, there are periodic pauses when
the prior lessons are reviewed. The student will
need to be able to use the material in the lessons
learned thus far before he/she can progress to
the next level. |

Conversacional en 50 Lecciones:
The course is given on a lesson-by-lesson basis
in loose-leaf form. There are no bound books for
the student to buy.
Compared to English, Spanish is relatively easy
to pronounce. What is complex is the grammar.
All languages are based on rules of some description.
In modern languages, these rules are called grammar.
However, it is not essential to learn the names
of the tenses, parts of speech and so forth in
order to learn Spanish.
In order to be conversational in Spanish, one
must learn how the language is structured. Then,
it is a matter of converting what the mind wants
to say into the learned structure. With practice,
this becomes automatic and the student begins
to think in Spanish.
If a student already knows some Spanish, an evaluation
is made and the lessons begin where the student’s
current knowledge of Spanish ends.
The amount of time it takes to finish the course
is entirely dependent upon the student. As many
as three lessons may be given during one class
if the student can readily absorb the information.
