1) Do you expect to achieve fluent spoken English simply by mentally translating written English?

If you start learning English by reading a textbook, fluency is impossible!  When you speak with Americans, do you usually compose sentences in your native language and translate them into English? This ineffective approach is the result of focusing on reading over listening.
If this describes you, you should consider our method.

2) You probably have an instructor, but does your instructor have a clear Road map for you?

In your current course you may be able to eliminate your “fear of speaking” with Americans by chatting with a native-speaking instructor.  However, in most cases no more progress beyond this is made, particularly if the instructor is not specialized in curriculum design.  If you are currently taking a class, do you know when to expect English proficiency at your target level?  In particular, how many minutes do you actually need to speak in class?  In a 60-minute class with 10 classmates, for example, you speak less than 5 minutes each. Do you think this is enough?

3) Are you considering self-practice with tapes and video?

Fluency through this method is not impossible.  However, the outdated technical format of tapes and videos makes repetitious practice difficult.  More significantly, audio tapes do not allow “visual thinking” by students. Also, learning English through self-practice may lead you to develop “your own English” which may sound strange to Americans.  Keep in mind that a language is ultimately a tool to interact with people.

1) Do not see or imagine written English.  Practice with sounds first.

Written English practice should always follow Spoken English.

2) Keep the three steps in sequence. Repeat this cycle daily or weekly.

	Step1. Exposure
	Expose your brain to English sounds (LAD: language acquisition device). These sounds should be native English.
	Step 2. Self-training
	You should practice speaking the sentences you hear.  In this process, you need to capture the meaning of the sentences through Visual Thinking.
	Step 3. Interaction
	Internalize the sentences stored in your brain through Step 1 and Step 2. You can internalize them by applying them to similar situations.

Students will receive feedback daily or weekly depending on their needs.  Computer-aided practice is closely monitored through a Learner Management System which adopts artificial intelligence and statistical methods.

Classroom performance is carefully evaluated by instructors, most of whom were educated at top-level universities. each student is then told what areas of communication should be improved.

Based on individualized feedback, your study path is adjusted periodically.  As a result, you may be transferred to a higher-level class earlier than you expect.

Meeting our students’ needs is the foremost priority of HSA English. We understand that many students find it difficult to take time out of busy schedules to attend classes. At our school, you can start your class on any day, and schedule your class at the most convenient time. The distance learning model is even available to those who cannot attend classes frequently.

Our refund policy:  We will fully refund all your tuition if your spoken English is not improved.  However, language learning takes more than a few days.  You will only realize the impact of our model after 3 to 6 months, depending on your course of study.  A full refund is also based on your diligence- you should adhere to our study model and attend classes.
