Semi-Intensive English 21

General English, but a little more intensive

Semi-Intensive English 21 gives you 21 full hours of lessons per week. It combines 15 hours of General English  and 6 hours of Afternoon Options.

The 15 hours of General English focuses on the key areas of grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary. In dynamic and interactive lessons you will quickly improve your reading, writing, speaking and listening skills.

The 6 hours of Afternoon Options give you more opportunities to practise and activate real English. Our options include English Out There, Business English and Cambridge Examination Preparation (FCE and CAE).

At the end of your course you will be more confident using natural English for personal, work or academic purposes and you will feel ready to take your exam. 

If you want an even more intensive course, Intensive English 25 adds an extra 4 hours of Afternoon Options, giving you 15 hours of General English and 10 hours of Afternoon Options.
