Why learn with me?
My name is Alex, I am a language guy who happens to work as a Senior Software Engineer and Business Analyst in a big tech company. This combination gives me great insight into technical/business jargon and also allows me to teach people using the most effective language learning methods. This course is based on the strongest technique I used to get to C1 in French and Spanish and C2 in English.
1. We start each section with dialogue that is full of business words and expressions. In the beginning, I deliberately don't translate nor explain anything - the fact that you have to face a difficult dialogue and scan which worlds are new for you will strengthen your memory in the next lessons.
2. After going through the dialogue, we focus on the vocabulary - we learn the meaning of words and the right context to use them
3. Once all the words are covered, we go through the dialogue again and practice the vocabulary actively.
This simple technique guides you by hand and will cement the vocabulary in the long-term memory with very little effort.
