Standard expressions

Easy to use and learn these standard expressions and words of MSA.
The situations of the conversations are not very likely.

Most useful program I've tried!

The built in repitition is helpful. If you want to master each lesson, you may need to repeat it. I am surprised, however, at the rate at which I am acquiring more and more words. Thank you very much!

It works!

Easy to memorize and switch words for everyday practical use. I’d suggest if you can’t remember a word write it down in a small pocket note pad. Yes; paper and pen lol
