Course Structure

Our courses are designed to align with the contemporary standards of foreign language learning and teaching. While focusing on the more traditional aspects of language learning, such as grammar and vocabulary, our courses prioritize the learners’ communicative abilities as well. The learning is enriched by the integral part of every language – its social and cultural context.

Whether this is the first time you’re learning a foreign language or you have already had some experience in it, our courses will support you to build confidence while communicating and independence while learning a foreign language.

While developing your speaking, reading, listening and writing skills you will approach a wide variety of topics, including:

  • travelling in a foreign country
  • talking about yourself and the things that are important to you
  • expressing your needs and wishes, asking for help and offering it
  • describing past events and planning the future
  • expressing your opinions, accepting or declining invitations
  • celebrating important events

Entry Requirements

  • 18 years of age (or above)
  • There is no other entry requirements
  • We don’t lease make sure you chose your own level correctly.
