Review, done via traditional conversations, games, plays, etc. It may include some exercises and error correction, but does not include the use of a language lab or pattern drill.

Presentation of new material. New material is introduced in the form of dialogues based on situations familiar to the students. Bancroft notes that "new material is presented in a somewhat traditional way, with the necessary grammar and translation" (p. 170). The dialogues are very long. According to Bushman and Madsen (1976), they run from 10 to 14 pages.

This portion is the "truly original feature" of Suggestopedia (Bancroft, p. 170), and is itself divided into two parts. In the first part, the active seance, the dialogue is read by the teacher, while students follow the text and engage in deep and rhythmic Yoga breathing. These activities are co-ordinated: "In accordance with the students' breathing, the teacher reads the language materials in the following order and with the following timing: Bulgarian (L1) translation (two seconds); foreign language phrase (four seconds); pause (two seconds). While the foreign language phrase is being read, the students retain their breath for four seconds, look at the appropriate part of the text, and mentally repeat to themselves the given phrase or word-group in the FL. Concentration is greatly promoted by the retention or suspension of breath" (Bancroft, p. 171).
