Our courses

Learning another language means to explore other cultures and knowing a different style of communication.

We make learning an exciting and engaging experience with effective ways to develop your language skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing. The lessons are focused on communication and cultural aspects.

Our beginner courses are delivered in three modules and are run in progressive levels throughout the year from September to June:

Beginner 1
Beginner 2
Beginner 3

All our courses take place in a friendly and relaxing atmosphere.

Beginner 2 course overview

This course follows the Beginner 1 course, and it is also recommended for people that have a grasp of knowledge of the language.

It consists of one evening class a week of 2 hours (with a break of 10 minutes), for a total of 8 weeks which is ideal for those with various commitments or working full-time.

Tutor information

All our language courses are taught by qualified native or non-native speakers with a broad teaching experience and a passion to teach their language and culture.

We provide handouts to work on during the course. We also work with a coursebook that we lend to each student for the duration of the course. A deposit towards the book will be required and it will be returned at the end of the course.
