What You’ll Learn

This comprehensive English course is structured into six progressive levels:

Level Description
Beginner Communicate basic personal information in everyday situation. Write simple sentences on familiar topics. Follow basic instructions. Read short texts and extract key information.
Elementary Deal reasonably competently with everyday situations. Write simple sentences. Follow instructions and ask for clarification. Read, understand, and extract information from short texts.
Pre-Intermediate Deal with more complex communication involving problem-solving in everyday life. Write simple paragraphs about factual matters and express opinions. Understand and respond to questions in familiar situations. Read, understand, and interpret longer texts.
Intermediate Communicate reasonably comfortably in familiar situations and on some more abstract topics. Write letters, short essays, and articles. Understand and respond to questions in most situations, including unfamiliar ones. Read, understand, and interpret longer texts, newspaper articles, and novels.
Upper Intermediate Understand a wide range of demanding, longer texts and recognise implicit meaning. Express oneself fluently and spontaneously, with little obvious searching for expressions. Use language flexibly and effectively for social, academic, and professional purposes. Produce clear, well-structured, detailed texts on complex subjects, demonstrating controlled use of organizational patterns, connectors, and cohesive devices.
Advanced Understand with ease virtually everything heard or read. Summarise information from different spoken and written sources, reconstructing arguments and accounts into a coherent presentation. Express oneself spontaneously, fluently, and precisely, differentiating finer shades of meaning even in more complex situations.

Each level is designed to build your skills across reading, writing, speaking, and listening, using real-life communication scenarios and integrated language techniques.
