Possibly you’re relocating abroad within a few months, need to brush up on your Spanish or French ahead of an important business meeting or have an upcoming exam. Whatever your reasons an intensive language course is the fastest way to learn a new language.

A typical intensive course involves taking a large number of hours in a limited period. A typical course would see a student learning anywhere from 2 to 6 hours per day over the course of a week or two. 

All intensive courses can be tailored to your exact needs and can be taken at all levels from beginner to advanced. 

To gauge a student’s initial level and their progress we use the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

CEFR Levels

Can introduce him/herself and others and can ask and answer questions about personal details such as where he/she lives, people he/she knows and things he/she has. Can interact in a simple way provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help.
