After working 33 hours with Balingua:
You will no longer be a beginner because
* you will be able to make your own oral sentences;
*
you will think in the target language;
*
and you will progress much more rapidly afterwards with a standard method.
Your passive knowledge will be reactivated:
*
you will have discovered the pleasure of speaking this language;
*
the time you previously invested in studying the language will finally pay off!
*
your pronunciation and oral comprehension will be much improved.
