Our lesson are inspired by real like work situations, for example:

“Have you ever worked on a project with an international team? Today, more and more IT/Cybersecurity projects involve members from various countries. Communication is key for staying on the same page.”

Then, to make sure you understood the lesson correctly, some questions or mini activities related to what you learned will be asked to you, like the “associate” type of exercise :

Question 1: Match the synonyms

Our corrections, (like the following one from the “associate” exercise) are always in-depth, so you can check if you understood everything correctly:

“Think about some typical steps when working on a website project. If you want things to go as planned, you need to create a template before developing the front end. A good idea toward the end of the project is to test the design with users.”
