Frequently asked questions
How much English should I know before starting?
You'll need some basic English already. The course is aimed at learners moving from A2 toward B1, so it's not a starting point for learning English from scratch. If you can understand simple English but struggle to find words or put sentences together at work, you're closer to the intended level. You'll work on grammar as well as workplace communication, rather than relying only on memorised phrases.
Will this help if I understand English but go quiet in meetings?
Yes, that difficulty is one of the situations the course is designed for. You'll practise sharing ideas, answering questions and keeping workplace conversations going. Listening work also addresses faster speech and common accents, which matters if you lose track before you get a chance to respond. The aim is to help you participate more confidently, though that doesn't mean you need to stop making mistakes before you speak.
What kind of writing will I actually practise?
You'll practise practical work-related writing, including CVs, cover letters, reports and emails. For example, there's a section on asking for an update by email, as well as work on writing an apology. You'll also practise describing figures and trends, which is useful when you need to explain information rather than just exchange messages. The emphasis is on making your writing clear and useful in professional situations.
Is this mostly business phrases, or will I work on grammar too?
You'll work on both. Workplace vocabulary sits alongside grammar such as tenses, modal verbs, conditionals and reported speech. Pronunciation also gets attention, including sentence stress and intonation, so the focus isn't only on choosing the right words. If you're looking for more than a collection of polite expressions to memorise, the course combines language fundamentals with situations where you'd use them at work.
Is this the right choice for advanced or very specialised business English?
The course is positioned at B1 intermediate level, with everyday professional communication as its focus. Expect situations such as interviews, team discussions, calls and dealing with clients, rather than language tailored to one profession. If you need advanced English for highly technical or specialist work, don't assume this will meet that need. It's better suited to building the general language you need to handle common workplace situations.
How much time should I set aside for it?
There are 66 lessons, but a total runtime isn't provided, so there's no reliable hour estimate or completion schedule to give you. When planning your study time, allow room to practise speaking and writing as well as work through the lessons. You could organise your study around a current need, such as preparing for an interview, but the available information doesn't establish how long any section will take.
Will any of this be useful outside work?
Yes. Although the situations are professional, much of the language isn't limited to the workplace. Forming questions, explaining past events, talking about future plans and understanding natural speech are useful in everyday conversations too. Work on pronunciation, word stress and intonation can also support clearer communication beyond your job. You'll practise these skills through work-related examples, rather than through a course centred on travel or social English.
