How to use the classical TPR

It is used for the secong language learning, parallel to first language learning and it should reflect the same naturalistic processes. It is based on the way children acquire their mother tongue. Action and tangibility make learning easy, fun and clear and, as it uses more senses, it has a better retrieval in the long run. It also has a long term recall because it uses muscle learning.
