Academic and Learning Approach

The Direct English system reflects the very latest thinking in language learning. Some language courses claim to teach a language in very short periods of time. You can learn to say a lot in a relatively short period of time, but you can barely understand anything.

Every student needs many hours of exposure to a new language before understanding is assured. Direct English ensures students learn to:

Understand real English, spoken at normal speed, right from the start
Speak English in well-defined stages, beginning with simple transactions and continuing with full conversational competence

Read, Write and understand English with increasing confidence
