You will work alternately in pairs, small groups and as a class. This allows you to practise intensively with situations you encounter in your daily life, such as asking for something in a restaurant and telling a story to family or colleagues. In the lessons, you will speak English as much as possible, so that you make progress fast and build confidence.
Teaching Materials

The materials are linked to practical topics and help you to apply the language directly in your own life. This means you will not only learn the rules, but above all learn what works in practice.
Teachers

4.8/5 based on 120 reviews
Good choice to enrich your language skills
Took a course to improve my English writing skills. Am very satisfied with the way the course is mostly practical in design, making it immediately useful. The instructor has the right skills and can convey the material well.
Excellent instructors and engaging, interactive learning materials
Took an English course online for three months in a class of +- 15 people. The material is very engaging and current, which makes learning easier and more fun. Also, the classes are very interactive, which means you stay focused and talk a lot in English.
Approachable, good content
The step was quite big for me to start, but the entry level is very accessible. All aspects are adequately covered; speaking, listening, reading, grammar. You get good feedback. Because there is a lot of material to do independently, you can get as much out of it as you want.
