More about our General courses

Our General courses last from 1 to 48 weeks and are suitable for all levels. These courses focus on languages for general purposes and cover all four language skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing), following a communicative approach and allowing you to make rapid progress from day one.

Our General courses also offer a choice in intensity:

Standard courses

The standard course teaches the fundamentals of the language, both written (reading and writing skills) and oral (listening and speaking skills). It focuses on the use of the language in everyday situations. This type of course is appropriate for students who want to improve their language knowledge and put it into practice.

Intensive courses

The intensive course is based on the same model as the standard course, but the pace is more intense and the subjects are covered in more depth. During the afternoon, the class has a more communicative approach and a wider range of conversational subjects is covered. The intensive course is ideal for students who want to make rapid progress.

Combined courses

This kind of course is a combination of both a group course (standard or intensive) and a private course. This type of course would be the ideal solution for those students with limited time, who wish to learn the language in a group and to further and improve their skills individually.
