However, thanks to the design of the learning programme and the organisation of lessons, learning times can be considerably reduced. Just to give you an example, on average a beginner reaches European level A2 in 120 hours compared to the 200 hours that aren&#8217;t normally considered necessary (see Certification).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1ae7166 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1ae7166\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-657d9e8\" data-id=\"657d9e8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-970ff2e elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"970ff2e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-cfe8e9a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"cfe8e9a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ccce5b6\" data-id=\"ccce5b6\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-79d52e7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"79d52e7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"about\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-be5b18f elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"be5b18f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7265f46 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7265f46\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">ABOUT US<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9430f08 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9430f08\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>35 years committed to developing and refining a unique methodology and original materials to create a programme for learners that unites substance in results with a <em>lightness<\/em> in process.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: inherit; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-ad07578-font-weight ); letter-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-ad07578-letter-spacing ); word-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-ad07578-word-spacing );\">When teacher and trainer Iain McInally, together with co-founder Monica Moro started work on what is now Speak Your Mind, it wasn\u2019t just to be different for difference\u2019s sake.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Too many people were tired of traditional methods or disappointed by language courses but failed to deliver convincing results.
