How it works
One lesson a day. Four simple steps.
Each lesson is 5–10 minutes of video, plus a few minutes of practice. The rhythm never changes, so you can just open the next day and start. This page describes what the course will include, and marks what is planned for later.
Inside a lesson
Watch
5–7 minutesMike explains one idea in clear voiceover over clean slides. There's nothing on screen to distract you, just the words, the examples and the rule.
Say it with Mike
1–2 minutesA short face-cam clip: Mike pronounces the key words and sentences slowly, so you can see the mouth and shadow it. It's a separate clip, so you can replay it as often as you like.
Practice
A few minutesA quick quiz to check you got it, then an interactive exercise to use it: put the words in the right order, fill the gap or type what you hear.
