English Classes
English Confidence ClassECC is delivered in 6 week units following a particular theme; each session is 3 hours long (4x45 minute lessons ) A range of exercises and interactive "games" create an environment where self-conscious blocks to speaking disappear and the only mistake is talking in a language other than English☺
Each block is independent from the previous one, although, you may detect a light self-exploration theme encouraging conversation on a wide range of topics. As it is for those who have already studied English, it is lighter on grammar and targets as much conversation as we can fit into the time. It is based on the very successful English Conversation Class (ECC) we have developed over the last six years* |
English Language ClassThe focus is still on communication skills, but incorporates a stronger emphasis on the other three skills of reading, listening and writing.
Grammar is presented through meaning and examples to develop understanding of the this aspect of language. Sessions are 1.5 - 2 hours long in small informal groups. The aim is to explore grammar and reinforce its use through practice. It is designed to support C1 and other exams |
Strictly ConversationAn informal gathering to reflect on just about any subject the group would like to discuss. Although a more casual approach, the classes still maintain a structure and focus, with exercises included to bring another dimension to the sessions.
These consist of 2-hour sessions with a native speaker. There is also the opportunity for 1.5 hour slots on a one-to-one basis. This is a popular option for those who feel less confident about their skills. |
Refreshments include a cup of English tea (or coffee /herbal or fruit tea etc) and home made cakes although the break is also in English!
To create balanced groups, we take students based on interview. *ECC is run in small groups (max 8) with two facilitators. The Language Class consists of 3-4 students. From July, we run one week summer courses in Budapest or Pilisszentkereszt.

The majority of the world speaks English as a second language, so we can learn about each other, reinforce our skills and correct any mistakes together. Just talk:)
