Speaking for A1 - A2 users

Aim: To enhance and motivate students to start casual conversations by

practicing and talking about everyday life and interests. Thats probably the
outcome of all this. Its very important to enhance students to ask questions
too.
Requirement: Basic understanding of grammar and vocabulary. Its advisable
to look for warm-ups and games so as to consolidate everything. A game could
be shuffle cards containing curious questions and some challenging stuff on
the table.
