At 9 :05, I turn on the video and 13 minutes later the students have a good idea of what the Immediate Method is.<br />► To teachers : we can send you this DVD free of charge. You can also watch it with the embedded youtube video on our web site : <a href="http://www.almalang.com/video.html">http://www.almalang.com/video.html</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What happens at 9 :18 ?</span><br />SR : I then want my students to experience all the fundamental elements of the IM during this first class, which will set the tone for the whole semester. I immediately set forth to do so.ALMA
