| 4. Mini-Stories (Point Of View stories) | Stories told in different verb tenses to naturally learn conjugation. |
| 5. No Grammar Book |
Grammar is acquired unconsciously by listening to repeated patterns. |
| 6. Vocabulary in Context | We do not learn lists of words, but hear words and expressions in lively sentences. |
| 7. Active Oral Practice |
The student is invited to repeat aloud, imitate, rephrase, and narrate. |
