Our Courses are carefully structured and designed to cover a wide range of topic areas, grammatical structures and skills.
Our courses include the following elements:
- Developing and improving your spoken language to build your confidence in communicating with native speakers.

- Learning and reviewing the grammatical structures of the language.
- Everyday language - Language that you can use in real-life situations, both written and spoken.

The Courses are designed for those who require a general vocabulary and a basic grammatical foundation to improve their understanding and increase their confidence to communicate in everyday situations.

| Beginner | I have a very basic understanding and knowledge of the language – perhaps no more than a few key words and expressions. I have no real idea about the grammar, and have a very limited vocabulary. |
| Beginner Plus | I have some knowledge of the language, which I would like to consolidate and extend. I can introduce myself and can describe the immediate world around me. I have come across different grammatical structures, but am not confident of using them. I have a limited ability to communicate and find it difficult to understand the spoken language. |
| Elementary | I can produce simple sentences and can formulate and respond to simple questions. I have a basic knowledge of grammatical structures, including different tenses and word order, and have enough vocabulary to ‘survive’ in predictable situations. |
| Lower Intermediate | I can understand and use simple structures fairly consistently, and can ask and respond to a wide range of simple questions. I have a reasonable idea of how the tense system works, and have an active vocabulary of around 700 words. I can express myself in familiar contexts, although I still make a quite a lot of mistakes. |
| Intermediate | I have a good understanding of simple structures, but lack accuracy and do not feel at ease with them just yet. I need to consolidate what I know and I am also ready to learn new and more complex forms. I can express myself in most common situations and hold conversations on a range of topics. |
