Literal and idiomatic usages

Grammar and syntax are taught along with vocabulary and expression based conversation to achieve a synergy that promotes faster learning and a broader understanding of the language. Knowledge of syntax and grammar also helps students to pick up contextual clues when conversing with a native speaker whose vocabulary is beyond their level.
