Not a moment's silence!

There should not be a moment's silence in the lesson. The teacher and students should be speaking every second. There should be a minimum of 210 words a minute spoken in the air by a sombination of teacher and students, that is, a total of 12,600 words spinning around in the room per hour.

Students' progress 

What can be achieved after 40 hours of Callan Method lessons.

Question: "If you found anything in the street worth a lot of money, would you keep it, or would you take it to the police station?"

As an example of the level a Callan Method student reaches after 40 hours, he is able to understand and answer the above question, asked him at the top speed, and also able to write out the question from dictation, translate it, and use its vocabulary comfortably in any normal convesation - as he is with the rest of the 1000 words and basic gramar in the Callan Method Books One and Two. This level of English enables him to hold a simple conversation and write a simple letter in English.

I can say that the lesson was so easy and fun that I`ve learn much more during an hour that online lesson than a year usual study.
