Survival kit

Are you moving to a new country? Did you just move in a place where you do not speak the local language? If you would like to start communicating in the local language in restaurants, supermarkets, banks, be able to make a reservation and make an appointment with a doctor, this class is made for you.
The Survival Kit training is a teaching method that allows students to quickly and effectively acquire the basics of a language. After you have acquired basic oral knowledge, you will learn how to put it into practice in daily life. You will also be trained on the culture of the country in order to use your new skills wisely.
