For what age group is Natively targeted?
When we learn a language, we expose ourselves to the world around us. English is a basic tool for communication and a key to a whole new culture and a new way of thinking. Thus, learning it cannot be limited to any specific age group. Whether an adult wishing to travel internationally, a businessperson working with people abroad, an adolescent looking for personal enrichment, or even a child eager for fun, Natively is an appropriate language-training program. What's more, since Natively Academiy teaches through real-life situations using pictures and illustrations, while the themes it covers are appropriate for adults, children will nevertheless enjoy the colorfulness and the interaction it requires.

How much time must a student spend learning each day?
Due to individual differences, some people learn faster than others, some are able to sit through longer learning sessions than others, and some are more thorough than others. Thus, the time it takes to complete the course varies from student to student. Still, a good idea would be to work on one lesson per sitting, which could vary from thirty minutes to two hours, depending on the specific lesson, on the level attained, and on the number of exercises completed.

How fluent can a student expect to be by the end of the course?
Natively Academy's main goal is to help students become competent and confident in conversation and in written discourse. This includes a focus on the more passive language skills as well as on the more active language skills. Natively Academy teaches grammar, vocabulary and verb conjugation through usage without placing emphasis on never-ending rules or memorization techniques. Through this effortless, intuitive process, students will accumulate knowledge and improve their language skills. By the end of the course, students will have gained sufficient competency in reading, writing and communicating so as to freely understand and be understood in numerous social encounters.
