learn english
The most learned language in the world, and the language with the most words; English is not only a great tool for life and work, but an invaluable skill needed to take on the world.
With so many words and such an international language, English can be quite intimidating, so we make it as easy as possible. Here's a taste: In A1, you’ll travel the world with our Encompass books, learning how to introduce yourself; talking about your routine, hobbies and family; learning colours; question words and the past tense.
In A2 we begin looking at how tenses are really used in English. We look at the different levels of an English conversation. We expand our vocabulary to include professional English, synonyms and talking about our dreams and aspirations.
Intermediate English gets a little juicier. At B1, we explore the English tenses further, to understand how and why they’re used. We begin reading articles, watching TedTalks, understanding the news and working with real life, and somewhat spontaneous English using synonyms, prefixes and suffixes to develop our vocabulary.
At B2 we get to the nitty gritty. We look at conversational vs formal English. We explore ideas and listen to some great minds to understand more of the world around us. With so much of the language available through interviews, documentaries and films, we use this to develop our vocab library.
At C1, you’re getting into the English-speaking-world English, often used on TV with idioms, cultural references and more complicated sentence structures. We learn about the English inversion, and how to produce more complicated language, to persuade, propose or argue. At C1 level, you’re ready to take on university in English, knowing how to plan and write long academic texts, harnessing your formal language and our use of nouns in formal English.
At C2 you are completely unstoppable. Your English is so developed that you can read just about any academic paper or work within an environment where only the use of specific English is accepted. You can manipulate the language in such a way that, like a native speaker, your fluency and grasp of the language will not hold you back.
