During all stages of the Callan Method, you will learn spoken English. This means that you will learn to use and understand contractions, e.g. NOT ‘cannot’ but ‘can’t’. Also, we will teach you new vocabulary at each stage. The aim of the Callan Method is to teach you a language that you can immediately use in your everyday life. We start with the words that are used the most so that even after only a few lessons, you will find that your understanding and use of English have improved.

Daily English is a beginner-friendly series that presents situational expressions followed by grammar rules to introduce how the student should construct sentences, and when certain expressions should be applied. The book gives the student chances to practice different sentences as the grammar structure and vocabulary are provided by the book. With the teacher’s guidance, students may also have the chance to test other vocabularies for other specific situations using the same grammar rule.
