FAQ

  • When can I start the course?

    The lessons for first week of the course will become available on July 17th and you can get started right away if you’d like. A new theme week becomes available every Sunday for 4 weeks.

  • Is there a schedule for the classes or can I do it in my own time?

    The lessons are all pre-recorded and you can do them whenever you want. However, there will be a live lesson every Saturday for the first 4 weeks of the course. These live lessons will include a review of the week’s 5 lessons, the opportunity for students to ask questions and also some conversation practice in small groups. You don’t have to attend these live lessons but I definitely recommend you do. These live sessions will also be recorded for you to watch later if you miss them or if you would like to review.

  • How long is the course?

    The course is designed to last 4 weeks if you choose to do it following the suggested pace described above. Each week includes 5 lessons (3 lessons on practical phrases and expressions + 1 vocabulary lesson + 1 grammar lesson). Each lesson takes around 1 hour to be completed and this includes watching the videos, completing the practice exercises and participating in written discussions. I recommend doing one lesson a day throughout the week before joining the live review lesson on Saturday. The last live lesson is on August 14. Remember that all the content will be available for you to access as many times as you want once the course is officially finished for a period of 2 years.

  • How are you going to give one-to-one feedback on my writing and speaking?

    At the start of the course, you will be given one topic to write about and another topic to record yourself talking about. You will have one week to send these to me. I will then record myself giving you feedback on both and send that to you so you can see what you can work on during the 4 weeks. At the end of the course you will be asked to do a writing and speaking task again and I will let you know what you have improved and what you should keep working on.

  • How can I keep practicing after the course ends? I don’t have anyone to speak to.

    As part of the course, you will be added to an exclusive telegram group with all the other students taking the course. This is going to be a way for you to get to know other learners who you can keep practicing with.
