The course is designed for students for whom the following statement is true:
I can speak about basic things like work, family and school. I can ask and answer simple questions. I can write an e-mail to book accommodation for my holiday and I can read the answer. In my previous course, we got through to the end of lesson 3 of New English File Intermediate and I’d like to continue.

How does the teaching work?
