The didactic approach on which our method is based starts with the essential element of considering human beings as a whole and in the totality of both hemispheres: the right and left sides of the brain. Much of traditional teaching is rooted primarily in the use of the left hemisphere which is analytical, linear, logical, detail-oriented and acts on short-term memory. The right hemisphere, on the other hand, is analogical, works by association, feelings, images and intuition, is responsible for emotions and, above all, long-term memory.

Our method, therefore, foresees practical and experimental activities which give space to creativity, where the individual becomes a first-hand participant, is considered a human being in his totality and can be motivated to express himself within a real setting, according to the constructivist principle. The learning process is highly influenced by our brain’s ability to create new neural connections, a process which is facilitated by calm situations when the brain can free itself of stress and other burdening elements, where waves emitted by the brain approach, as nearly as possible, alpha waves.
When stress levels caused by various factors are rather high, they can act as a barrier limiting our capacity to learn. Studying in a relaxed atmosphere, where students can feel undisturbed compared to their normal work rhythm and can express themselves freely, enables a lowering of their emotional filter and more openness towards new information which can soon be transformed into language learning.
