Another important goal is to teach students as quickly as possible to use simple colloquial panels as: introduction, ask for simpler information, understanding of slow and simple answers, shopping situation: asking for prices, expressing a short opinion, expressions of polite behaviour (greetings, showing interest in other persons' state, farewell etc.). Short descriptions including students? own personal data, and brief dialogues about leisure activities will also be taught. In accordance with this aim, the lexical material contains the most important adjectives and the ordinal numbers, and basic verbs and nouns for use in everyday situations.
