How is learning through a website going to train all my skills?

Part of the training methodology is that you use your writing and your speaking skills to create and submit materials for assignments and community exercises. This requires you to read/listen and then to create content in audio, or write it and then speak it into an audio device, in order to complete the exercises. In this way you’ll train all your skills.
