Their methodology is structured around the Whole-Part-Whole learning

model which allows you to observe, learn, and then practice new
language concepts.

It breaks down learning situations into three parts:

1- Demonstration: watch/listen to native speakers in a complete real-life

setting that helps with the construction of a mental model.

2- Deconstruction: understand vocabulary and grammar separately in a
conversation, and to learn how those components can be applied to other
situations as well.
3- Practice: the components are reassembled and you can practice via a
series of interactive activities that focus on written and spoken production and all
involve interaction with and feedback from real native speakers of the language.
