GRAMMAR

Grammar is definitely an essential part of learning a language. However it's more than just grammatical structures, rules and bunch of exceptions. Grammar of each language represents a different way of thinking. Knowing the grammar can help you to understand the speakers of a language better.

VOCABULARY

No doubt that grammar without vocabulary is just a list of rules and its exceptions. Also, vocabulary without grammar is just gibberish. Having an extensive vocabulary will help you express yourself clearly. Learning words in context and seeing how they collaborate with other words of the sentence is more effective than grinding a vocabulary list.

SPEAKING

Speaking skills are an important method of communication. The very moment when you have to coordinate your grammar and vocabulary skills simultaneously in real time. Terrifying and terrific at the same time, isn't it?

LISTENING

Listening is more than just hearing. Although it seems to be a passive activity it's a complex and active process indeed. Receiving, grasping and interpreting the audio information within the immediate is not an easy task. At last but not least it's a good way to hear authentic speakers which can improve your pronunciation. 

READING

Written texts are a really good source for contextual learning. Seeing how words form a sentence, how sentences form a paragraph and how the order of paragraphs forms the text at the end.  Have you ever tried to read your favourite book in a foreign language? It feels like reading a totally new book.

WRITING

Writing an adequate text can be hard even in our native language. However that's the most creative language skill. You can play with the words as you want and everything you create is something new, something you!
