Collected first hand impressions, opinions and suggestions concerning the course


All the learners:
  • found the content of the course relevant to their activities and day-to-day situations they meet on the road
  • found the general layout of the exercises pleasant in appearance
  • found the instructions for helpful and easy to follow
  • showed willingness for continuing testing the course
  • confirmed the course will help them with improving their efficiency and it will be very helpful for their daily round
  • would like their future efforts to be rercognised by a certificate

Difficulties arisen:
  • By following the pronunciation exercises and by completing some exercises due to the different language level of proficiency of the learners
  • The main difficulties, however, arise from the differences between the Bulgarian Cyrillic alphabet, and the Latin alphabet used in the course

Suggestions:
  • Some units could touch wider spectrum of questions and topics including variety of situations, exercises and expressions, namely "illegal immigration" and "loading / unloading"
  • More phonetic exercises to be included




The general opinion is that course will help them doing their work better and in a proper way.
