Learning materials and recommended literature
This study unit applies the interactive Lingua Attack Method, whose pedagogical approach immerses you in a foreign language the way it’s actually spoken in everyday life. This method will enable you to develop your language skills with video- and audio-based exercises, and furthermore, games will enable optimal retention of learned items. The level assessment tests evaluate your proficiency according to the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).
