The language content is consciously structured to slowly and gradually introduce more complex tenses, but relies throughout on commonly occurring examples of words, sentences, interjections and other set phrases. With so many characters involved in the role play, this enables learners within a classroom situation to partake with great interest in such an activity, as well as put into practise and revise simplified forms of language on the basis of just a few thousand words. As a result, students become at ease with the fluid styles of language they use and are able to further their linguistic proficiency.
