Do you feel the English you hear from your coursebook is not what you are confronted with in real life? Or sometimes you feel that others speak too fast? This course will use recordings of English as it is really spoken – by native as well as non-native speakers. You will get used to different accents and be able to adapt faster to speakers from around the world. Vocabulary work, comprehension exercises and discussions are included.  For learners at the B1+ or beginning B2 level. Do you want to meet your teacher before registering?

This course helps you speak it with more confidence, fluency and style – by borrowing from writers who knew exactly how to move an audience. In a small, sociable group we read, discuss, debate and play with language. Not a lecture – a conversation, full of practical phrases and the kind of English that works as well at a dinner party as in the boardroom. The idea behind the course: a German intellectual movement has shaped the English-speaking world. The Humboldt brothers, Goethe and the German Romantics inspired poets such as Wordsworth and Byron in England, and later Emerson, Thoreau and the conservationist John Muir in America, and ultimately even Walt Disney. Participants explore this journey in a small, friendly group, through stories, conversations and debates, with lots of fun activities between the learners. As a result, you naturally gain greater confidence and enjoyment in speaking English, both in everyday life and at work.

You have the grammar, you have the vocabulary, but do you still hesitate before speaking? This course is specifically designed for advanced learners who want to bridge the gap between "knowing" English and "feeling" English. We will practise strategies for spontaneous interaction and emphasise on vocabulary, nuance and fluency through authentic material.  Do you want to meet your teacher before registering?
