Asking questions is important:

  • for language learners, who would like to ask something or for something in a lesson or as a tourist abroad. They also want to know what to expect in a situation.
  • for students, who are preparing for a language exam and would like to prepare for the examiner's questions with creative answers. Or just don't want to be surprised.
  • for teachers, when they are preparing interesting lessons for their students and help them practice fluency and accuracy.
