No flashcards, no scripts. You speak, they answer, and you keep going. A GUIDED PATH Every unit teaches the phrases first, then hands you a scene to use them in. Learn, speak, listen, recall: short lessons you can hear and repeat, with pronunciation feedback on every word you say. SCENES FROM REAL LIFE Greetings, ordering food, getting around, shopping, work and study, health, making plans, telling stories about your travels.
