Each lesson of the English course is composed of 8 different sections. Each one deals
with a particular subject of English study. English listening, grammar study, oral practice,
vocabulary, etc.

can be changed at the student's will:

This time, instead of clicking, maintain the left button of the mouse pressed. The

• COMPARE two or three times your English with that of the speaker. To compare,
click with the right button of the mouse on the sentence. You will automatically
hear your recording, and then, that of the speaker.
When you record a word or a sentence, this one is shaded so that you know that you
have already recorded it. And you will always be able to return to hear what you
recorded by clicking on it with the right button of the mouse.
RECORD again by improving your pronunctiation and return TO COMPARE until your
melody and your pronunctiation are very similar to those of the speaker. This work of
recording and comparing is the best system to obtain a good English accent.
