You understand a lot of English, but some areas still cause problems

At B1 or B2 level, you can understand a lot of English. But you may still use the same basic words, make grammar mistakes you thought you had learned, or feel unsure about pronunciation.

  • You may understand a grammar rule when you read it, but choose the wrong form later.
  • You may recognise a more advanced word, but keep using a simpler one because it comes to mind first.

This course brings vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and listening together in 55 structured lessons. You study English in context and complete homework and practice tasks to help you remember and use it more accurately.

The aim is to build a wider vocabulary, improve your accuracy and feel more certain about the English you use.
