This course will help you communicate more effectively and confidently in English at B1 level. This means you will mainly focus on practising your speaking skills, using familiar topics and situations from everyday life.
You will also learn new vocabulary and grammar, as long as they help you express yourself better. That way, everything you learn is immediately applicable, and you’ll soon notice that you feel increasingly confident when using English.
After this English course, you will be able to:
- handle most situations that occur in English-speaking environments well, such as when travelling. You can enter conversations on familiar topics without preparation, for example about your family, hobbies, work, travel, the weather or the news;
- speak clearly about experiences and past events, your dreams and ambitions. You can give short and clear explanations and substantiate your opinions. You will also be able to tell stories, summarise books and films and give your opinion on them;
- understand key points in simple, everyday conversations at work, school or during leisure activities;
- mostly follow TV and radio programmes on current events or topics that interest you;
- read texts written in everyday or work-related language with ease. You can understand descriptions of events, feelings and desires;
- write simple, coherent texts on familiar topics.
