Get the basics right
This course is for you if you want to learn English from the very beginning and focus on getting the absolute basics right. The course focuses on the four skills you need when you are learning a language: speaking, listening, reading and writing so you will experience well-balanced progress.

After taking this course, you will be able to:

• Introduce yourself


• Talk about your job


• Talk about your day


• Ask people questions

You will also learn a lot of new words to do with, for example, jobs, family, transport, colour and clothes and learn how to pronounce the new words correctly.

The primary focus is that you become better at speaking English, but you will also be given short written assignments for homework, for example, writing an informal email. We will also study some basic grammar in each lesson to give you a framework on which to build the language.

We will study the first half (chapters 1 to 5) of the book, Navigate.

On the course, you will meet students who have previously learnt some basic English and would like to start over with the full beginner level. If you do not know any English, please contact us for an individual solution.
