English and German courses

General English / German

We help people learn English and German and prove their skills to the world!

4–5 years: Start English! / Start German!

The Start English! and Start German! introductory programs lay the foundations of foreign languages ​​and develop preschool children’s pleasure in learning them. Structured on two levels, they support children’s first steps on the way to forming basic vocabulary and formulating their first sentences voluntarily and consciously.

6–8 years: Beginners / Advanced

The Advanced Program is aimed at primary school children who have an advanced level of knowledge of the English or German languages, our team facilitating their transition from the stage of re/acquaintance, to that of acquisition and operation with the previously acquired linguistic tools. This is the key moment when children not only formulate sentences, but also present ideas and convey information in dialogues or elaborate descriptions.

The Beginners program is aimed at primary school children who still struggle to write and read, the language course being centered on the accumulation of vocabulary and essential grammatical structures, contextual learning and creativity stimulation playing an essential role in cultivating the pleasure of using foreign languages.

8–10 years: Beginners / Advanced

Beginners represents a natural step for beginner children, who need to recover or consolidate the basic concepts of the English or German languages, our courses helping them find the motivation to learn through games and various non-formal education activities.

Advanced is aimed at primary school children whose level of command of the English language allows them to deepen their knowledge by getting involved in dialogues and socio-cultural situations in which English or German is a natural tool for interaction. Thus, our courses maximize children’s chances of success, building healthy premises for internationally recognized exams and school performance in Romanian education.

11–14 years: Beginners / Advanced

The Beginners Program offers young people the chance to recover, consolidate or perfect their English language level, responding both to those who feel the need for clarification of the grammatical bases, and to those who lack confidence in their language skills and need the exercise of free expression.

The Advanced Program is aimed at young people from secondary schools who want to perform well and whose level of foreign language allows them to accumulate knowledge about the culture and civilization of English/German speaking areas. The generous theme and the traditional and modern methods of non-formal education will stimulate curiosity and creativity, foreign languages ​​becoming a useful tool for discovering the world’s cultural and scientific heritage.

15+ years: Beginners / Advanced

The Beginners program is for high school students who have an average level of knowledge of foreign languages ​​and who want to recover the lost material in order to take the language proficiency exams within the Baccalaureate exam. At the same time, for them, our courses can represent the last opportunity to get up to speed with the grammar of foreign languages.

The Advanced Program aims to enhance the language skills of high school students, develop their vocabulary and open their horizons towards world cultures and the vast dimensions of knowledge. At the same time, the Advanced Excel program orients students towards taking exams with international recognition, necessary in the event of continuing their studies in universities abroad.
