Technical Requirements
We deliver your course entirely online. You will need a computer and dependable internet access. You will be able to access your program on any computer that meets the technical requirements.
Your My Language Requirement instructor will be in contact with you at least once per week through e-mail. You will need a working e-mail address registered with us. Please check your spam filter settings to allow our e-mails to be delivered.
Other recommended equipment
In order to utilize the speech recognition activities, you need speakers and a microphone. Headphones with a microphone are even better. They cut down on the ambient noise that you hear and that is picked up by your microphone.
