    Credo:

    "Fear of embarrassment is a major barrier in learning and using a new language. I believe it is essential to create an atmosphere where mistakes are viewed as learning opportunities, and where students focus on their individual progress rather than feel a sense of competition with each other".

    "Research shows a strong correlation between dopamine and the formation of long-term memory. If students can laugh, have fun and enjoy lessons, they are far more likely to remember new words and other information".
