General English - Intermediate, online
How does an online course work?
Each lesson is a videoconference between the students and their teacher. You need internet connection and a smart phone, tablet or computer. No need to install anything, you just click the link and connect to the lesson.
This is a new course. It is not directly linked to any course in the previous semester and is therefore ideal for new students.

How do I determine my language level?
