✅ Why should you learn English?

English is a West Germanic language. English is the third most spoken native language in the world, after Standard Chinese and Spanish. It is the most widely learned second language and is either the official language or one of the official languages in almost 60 sovereign states. There are more people who have learned it as a second language than there are native speakers. English is the most commonly spoken language in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand, and it is widely spoken in some areas of the Caribbean, Africa and South Asia.

It is the most widely spoken Germanic language, accounting for at least 70% of speakers of this Indo-European branch. English has a vast vocabulary, though counting how many words any language has is impossible.

✅ How long does it take to master English?

In order to learn the communication phrases used by tourists in daily situations a couple days in the language course will suffice. However, if you want to master written and spoken English more properly, you should allow one to three years. In order to achieve an academic level, you will need at least five to seven years.

With time and motivation you can master English faster. The more time you dedicate to learning the language, the faster you will achieve the result. Daily communication in English will be a great advantage. And do not forget the media (radio and television), press, cultural events, music, and films in English.

 

✅ Does your mother-tongue affect your mastery of English?

If you speak Danish, Norwegian or Swedish or one of these languages is your mother-tongue, you will learn English easier and faster. People proficient in Germanic languages will see similarities with the English grammar system and words loaned from these languages.

Some important tips in order to master English faster:

• Learn each new word in the context it is used in.
• Repeat what you have learned often because repetition is the mother of learning;
• Use both real and virtual English language domain;
• Use the media (TV, radio, music, literature, social media platforms) in English;
• Read fiction in English, start with easy English;
• Let yourself make mistakes, use the language, jump in the English language river for a swim! You can do it!

✅ How many classes does it take to master English?

C2 - 60 hours (C2/1) + 60 hours (C2/2)

C1 - 60 hours (C1/1) + 60 hours (C1/2)
