The programme

Group or private · A1 to A2 · No experience needed

A beginner course built around conversation. Lessons begin with the words and topics you will actually use — introducing yourself, asking simple questions, handling everyday situations — so you are speaking from the first lesson instead of memorising word lists. Groups stay small, so the teacher can adjust the pace and the topics to the people in the room.
