Sentences are rarely more than seven words long. Because short sentences are easier to remember.

The fact that the English is on the left, and read first, means that you always know what your new language means. So you feel secure — which is important for stress-free learning.

This side-by-side presentation means that, even though you may be reading the foreign language, your eye can take in the English in your peripheral vision. So subconscious learning takes place.

You also absorb the grammar naturally as you go along. Later, after you've already experienced examples of the grammar rules, we point out how they work. This is a much more natural sequence than learning the rules first, which is boring and less effective.
