ESL (English as a Second Language) Level 1 Course With Teacher Daria

In this introductory group course students will work on learning new vocabulary and improving their conversational skills. Some learners benefit more from having group classes when it comes to gaining confidence and practicing conversation. 
No prior knowledge needed. The goal is to improve social skills, fluency and prepare learners for public speaking and debates. 

This course is suitable for beginner levels with zero to minimum knowledge.

In this course learners will be introduced to new vocabulary words and sentences related to key words that they will be able to practice through various games/songs (please see below). 

[Focus is on speaking/production/learner output.]
[The goal is to help learners gain confidence and speak independently by the end of class.]

Beginner levels are constructed like this: 
- Warm-up song
