•What makes us different from other schools? Speakeasy School teaches General English using the Callan Method which works fast, is fun to use and has proven to be successful with any student, regardless of their age, nationality or learning ability. It was first developed by Mr Robin Callan in 1960, and is based on the Natural Approach. The Callan lessons are conducted at a very fast speed, which prevents boredom, makes each student concentrate, stops him from translating in his head, allows him to hear more words repeated more times, and makes it easier for him to understand English outside the classroom. The speed of our lessons also allows us to progress through the Stages of the method, taking you up to the level of the First Certificate Exam in less than a year. The lessons are taught through constant repetition and revision of grammatically correct sentences. By revising everything four, or five times, the Method ensures that the student remembers what he learns (usually for the rest of his life), no matter how poor his memory is.
