Welcome!

This User’s Guide directs you through your lessons. Each learner has different strengths and weaknesses in the

English language, so please do the lessons at your own pace. Sit down to study at a time when you feel motivated

and alert. We recommend 1 lesson every other day. What we teach in a 1-hour lesson equals 2-3 hours in a

traditional classroom. We want you to do the complete lesson at one time. However, if you stop a lesson in the

middle, the video clip will be “bookmarked”. When you login again, you continue from this video.
