You'll know a few hundred characters and handle basic conversations. Practice everyday scenarios, like ordering food or giving directions, to build confidence and real-world skills. Advanced Learners:
Expect interactive discussions, grammar finesse, and pronunciation tweaks. Explore topics like stories, news, or movie clips, making language alive and authentic. Mistakes? Bring them on—they're key to growth. I focus on fostering independence so you can continue learning beyond our sessions.
