    How are my lessons structured?

    How many hours a week can I study?
    You can choose from 15 hours a week up to 30 hours, according to your needs and motivation.

    Standard (20 lessons, 15 hours a week)
    This is our core programme. This level comprises 4 lessons per day (Classes will be either morning or afternoon). This course will cover the four main language skills; reading, writing, listening and speaking (there will be emphasis on grammatical structures according to the students level).

    Intensive (25 lessons, 20 hours a week)
    This combines the standard programme with five additional lessons. The intensive course incorporates one hour session from Monday to Friday focusing on different aspects of the language. These include: conversational English, grammar awareness, pronunciation, video/audio presentations and skills such as writing/reading/listening. This approach gives you more time to interact with the language and build a more confident understanding of the languages use.
