Learning and using a foreign language is a matter of practice. While a studentís desire to learn will play a
large part in his or her success, what is most essential is practice!î asserts Philippe Grosskost, Managing Director, ETS EMEA. ìPractice is what enables students to apply their theoretical knowledge, learn from their mistakes and ultimately, use the language as it is meant to be used in everyday situations.

Both the practice products are delivered online, and as such, are accessible 24/7 from anywhere ñ the classroom, home or a language lab.
