English course

Learn English, from A1 to C1

A course for people who already speak another language and want English that works: for conversations, for work and for study. It starts with a placement test that levels each skill separately, then plans lessons, vocabulary and reading around what you need most.

Choose your level

A1 · elementary (6 lessons, 61 words)
A1 is where English starts to work for everyday life: talking about your routine, your family and where you live, asking simple questions, and saying where things are and where you were.
A2 · pre-intermediate (5 lessons, 62 words)
A2 gives you the past and the future: what you did last weekend, what you were doing when something happened, and what you're going to do next. You'll also compare things and say what you must, have to and should do.
B1 · intermediate (12 lessons, 84 words)
B1 is the level where you can tell a story, describe your experiences and give your opinion. It's also where the present perfect stops being confusing, and where conditionals, the passive and reported speech arrive.
B2 · upper intermediate (12 lessons, 76 words)
B2 is about precision and flexibility: talking about how the past could have been different, judging what probably happened, linking an argument, and switching between formal and informal English.
C1 · advanced (12 lessons, 76 words)
C1 is for using English with control in academic and professional settings: putting the emphasis where you want it, making careful claims, and writing concisely and formally.
C2 · proficient (6 lessons, 18 words)
C2 is about nuance: hearing what is meant but not said, recognising irony and understatement, choosing words whose tone fits exactly, and controlling what your reader notices first. The course has one C2 unit so far, new and still awaiting review.

C2 has one new unit so far (six lessons), a pilot like the rest of the course: the course doesn't claim full C2 coverage until that material has been reviewed.

How the course works

A placement for each skill

The test adapts to your answers and gives reading, listening, grammar and vocabulary their own level, so a strong reader who struggles with listening starts in the right place for each.

Grammar, one idea at a time

53 lessons explain a point with examples and common mistakes, then practise it with questions you answer by choosing or typing. Lessons come back for review on later days.

Words in context

Topic decks give each word a plain-English definition and an example, scheduled with spaced repetition. At A1 and A2 the meaning can also be shown in Spanish, Portuguese or French.

Writing and speaking

Writing tasks and conversations with an AI partner, with feedback on grammar, word choice and register. Feedback helps; it doesn't set your level.

What it isn't

Not an exam or a certificate: the placement result is an estimate to choose where to start, not proof of your level for a university or employer.
Not yet complete at C2: there is one C2 unit so far.

Questions

Who is the English course for?

Adults and teenagers who already speak another language and want to improve their English, from A1 to C1. It's strongest at B1 and B2, the levels where many learners get stuck.

How does the placement test work?

It adapts to your answers and checks reading, listening, grammar and vocabulary separately, so you get a level for each skill rather than one number. Speaking and writing can be checked too, with AI feedback. The result is an estimate to choose where to start, not a certificate.

What if I spot a mistake?

Each lesson in the app has a way to report it.

Does AI decide my level?

No. AI gives feedback on speaking and writing and explains wrong answers, but it never sets your level, marks a grammar point as learned or changes your review schedule on its own.
