General English course

A General English course is, first and foremost, English for communication. More than one and a half billion people around the world speak English, and another billion are learning it. 75% of the world's mail is written in English. Almost all international conferences and competitions are also held in English, including the Olympic Games and the Miss World contest. Diplomats and politicians from different countries use English to communicate with one another. English is the main language of organisations such as the UN, NATO and the European Free Trade Association.

If you can speak English, you can communicate with people all over the world. Share your thoughts and ideas in online discussion groups. Exchange emails with interesting people. Learn about their lives and cultures. Knowing English will also help you travel. You'll be able to understand people wherever you are — English is spoken in more than 100 countries.

The General English course is designed for learners of any level — from complete beginners starting from scratch (STARTER) up to PROFICIENCY.

The course covers all areas of learning English — reading and writing, speaking, grammar and listening.
