Basic Language Skills

Language Skills & Practice

Many young people, after 200, 300 or 400 hours of English at school, are quite comfortable in writing. They master a large vocabulary and understand a lot of things. But they are blocked in speaking. As a result, they will do well on tests like the TOEIC that do not include speaking. But they will have difficulty integrating into international environments.
