A flying start to language learning

Springboard builds a firm foundation of knowledge and understanding of foreign languages, and helps to enrich and consolidate a learner's knowledge of English.

The first book of Urso-Kurso, sufficient for one term's work, covers six topic-blocks of vocabulary and provides a list of "foreign friends" to which each Esperanto word is related.

Here are some examples of "foreign friends":

The "reference model" of a regular grammar, with no exceptions, helps children to understand the role that each word plays in a sentence. This can then lead to improved confidence when dealing with the very irregular grammar of English; knowing (for example) when to use "who" or "whom"; when to say "my friend and I" or "my friend and me".
