This is The BEST Method For Learning EnglishA lot of people have tried to learn English by studying grammar, reading books, watching movies or TV shows, but still lack confidence and fluency when speaking English. I have worked with students every day for the past 20 years, and most of my students initially felt that reaching fluency was impossible.

Frequently asked questions

There are many ways to learn basic English, and we have lots of English learning resources that discuss them in detail. However, we think the best way to learn basic English is from an expert tutor! Our online English courses for beginners give you a perfect balance of structured content and time to practice.
A1 students have limited knowledge of the English language, but can still manage familiar situations with common expressions and vocabulary. They might speak slowly and pause often to search for the right word. They can introduce themselves simply, understand basic directions, and get around a city by reading signs and posters. A2 students can take part in everyday small talk and express their opinions in simple ways. They start to use past and future tenses to talk about their histories and ambitions. They can understand frequently used expressions, have simple conversations about familiar topics, and read and write simple texts. Learn more about all the language levels in our detailed guide.
What are levels A1-A2 in IELTS? A1 and A2 are the first two language levels on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, or CEFR. The CEFR is an international guideline to measure language skills, using a scale from A1 (beginners) to C2 (language masters). A1 and A2 levels correspond to IELTS scores from 0-4, according to the IELTS website.
