You share your ideas well among friends or colleagues, but you know you could express yourself better with interesting sentences and precise vocabulary. If this resonates with you, Intermediate English is for you.

Built for working professionals, students and homemakers who already understand and speak basic English and want to upgrade their language, this English fluency course teaches precise verbs, powerful words and higher adjectives that paint a picture: the kind of vocabulary that turns "the manager walked in" into "the manager strode into the meeting room."

Alongside speaking, you'll train your ear with audio materials and sharpen your writing with emails, letters and short essays, so your improved English shows up everywhere you use it.
