The program has 20 hours per week, and includes basic lessons (general conversational language), but also specialized language, with the aim of bringing the participating students from level zero to level B2, with emphasis on the specialized lexicon used later during the studies. The courses combines theory with practice, the exercises are individual or group, and the didactic games develop the skills of independent language use and increase the inner motivation of the students.
