Speaking month
The USP: a month of speaking classes with the speaking teacher after the base course. Everything you learned, said out loud.
Her method: after every chapter, exposure through five channels — an article, a native friend, a podcast, a video, and speaking. The block appears under each chapter you finish.
The playlist Lin kept in the group description. Now it keeps itself.
