Many internet surfers know in the capitol Ouagadougou are lear
ing EFL. Programs such as "English in an hour a day" and a significant few others, really do work but it takes a year longer or more to achieve the basic fluency. The authors could have done a much better job by making the EFL educational program more "newbie friendly".

A system that allows you to learn EFL at a faster pace, whether it's by books, CD's or internet is what everyone is looking for! Considering that this year the population of BURKINA FASO is 15,264,735 half of which is under fifteen years of age and in school there is a great need for streamlined EFL education.
Today, there are approximately 80,000 internet users in Burkina Faso getting some hands on experience with speaking and writing. Internet EFL education is a fantastic way to learn.
