Its unique twin-track approach allows you to decide how you want to learn. Choose either the quicker route, concentrating on communication, or the more detailed route if you wish to understand the language and grammar in more depth.

Course Book
Ten structured units present the main language of the course, with additional grammar and exercise sections provided at regular intervals to reinforce learning.
