Taster/Short Courses A short course for people wishing to try learning a language before committing to a longer course. No previous knowledge is necessary.

Starter For complete beginners who have no previous knowledge of the language. By the end of the course you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to ask and answer simple questions, and will be familiar with a handful of useful everyday expressions.

Improvers You should have studied the language for at least a year or be able to ‘get by’ in a limited number of everyday situations, such as basic shopping, ordering a meal and understanding simple directions and times. You will revise previous learning and will learn how to talk simply about yourself, your interests and gain further vocabulary and grammar language knowledge.

Intermediate You should have studied the language for 2 or 3 years and be able to exchange basic information about yourself and others and state simply what you did. You will revise previous learning and will learn further past and future tenses to develop speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. You will learn to converse simply but accurately on a variety of everyday topics, read and understand short texts and write messages and short letters.

Advanced For those who have studied the language for at least 4 or 5 years and who wish to consolidate and extend their skills. It may also be a suitable re-entry point for those who have studied at an advanced level in the past. Using a wealth of authentic materials, you will practise expressing your needs, wishes and opinions and will develop the ability to understand news items in the media and write letters and reports with confidence.

Circle This is a high level course for those who have studied the language for at least 5 – 6 years who are already reasonably fluent. Language structures will be revised and communication skills practised in order to improve confidence and increase fluency and accuracy. You will gain a deeper insight into the language and culture. Using a wealth of authentic materials, you will practise expressing your needs, wishes and opinions and will develop the ability to understand and discuss topics of general interest.
