The Advanced course 1 is intended for schoolchildren who have completed studying the textbooks Basic Course 1 and 2. It covers approx. a year and a half of lessons (two lessons per week plus an hour of homework). As a result of working through this textbook the pupil will extend the knowledge gained from the basic course by mastering complicated grammar forms and syntactical constructions. Their speech will become more varied and expressive. Like the basic course the pupil learns patterns, not grammar rules and these patterns are taken from works of fiction. The pupil's vocabulary is increased by 1200 - 1700 words giving them the ability to speak fluent and write correctly.
