FLUENT NOT PERFECT: Practical Foreign Language Learning Through the Five Senses
The “Fluent Not Perfect” project has been designed to encourage adults – including local residents, migrants and refugees – to learn foreign languages in a simpler and more accessible way through innovative sensory-based learning methods that engage all five senses. The project aims to reduce the fear of making mistakes when speaking, build learners’ confidence, and facilitate their integration into the labour market and local community.
