General English
The General English Course offers you the chance to study 3 hours of English in the morning and have free time in the afternoon.
General English
We work with a Coursebook to learn vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation to achieve
improvements in both receptive (listening and reading) and productive skills (speaking
and writing). Every Friday there is a test to monitor weekly improvement and an
opportunity to review any content that might need more support.
