In the first all digested drill words that constitute a framework structure, and then wondered at. Number of words, which students must learn the entire course of study, are: for broadcast – 1000 units, for listening and Apartments – 3-4 thousand, to read – about 7 thousand Most of the time (80-85%) set aside for practice, and only 15-20% are comments and explanations. One of the main tasks in the process of mastering a foreign language is to overcome the negative the influence of the mother tongue.
