Extra Training

Do you already have an advanced level of English (C1 or C2) and want to take your skills even further? This course combines high-level language training with an additional challenge. By engaging with philosophical commentaries about greatest minds , you will not only enhance your lexical range but also engage with commentaries that are geared towards those who wish to acquaint themselves with philosophy. Working with such texts strengthens your ability to understand complexity, precision and nuance, and express yourself persuasively. You do not need to have any background in philosophy to do this course: Just read, listen, speak, and have fun. This course is ideal for those who already feel confident in English and are looking to challenge themselves with high-level content – whether for professional, academic, or personal development.

This course is designed for practising and improving your spoken English. We will focus on a wide range of interesting topics and activities to make you feel more confident with spontaneous conversations and your listening comprehension, while also helping to increase your vocabulary and accuracy in pronunciation.

Ever feel like emails, LinkedIn posts, and websites all sound the same these days? As ChatGPT becomes part of professional communication, how do we stand out and still sound like ourselves? In this practical workshop, we will analyse and compare AI-generated and human-written texts, exploring why AI language often sounds polished yet bland. Together, we will highlight the differences and discover what makes language feel authentic, personal, and engaging. Participants will develop advanced vocabulary and functional language for expressing nuanced opinions and tone, while reflecting on what makes communication truly human.

If you like to feel happy, focused and energized while freshening up your spoken English, this course is definitely for you. We will use creative and lively exercises - such as spontaneous writing and storytelling and fanciful improvisations - to help you stretch your vocabulary, exercise a bit of grammar and build up your sense of ease, confidence, and flow.

This weekend course should act as a 'mini language trip', where you can explore all kinds of topics and contexts in spoken English. Immersing yourself in the language is a great way to activate your existing skills and push youself to a higher level of confidence. Similar sessions are available every few months.

So far, you are getting along very well in English. However, reaching a stable C1 or even C2 level requires more precision and an understanding of how grammar shapes meaning. This course aims to strengthen learners‘ use of grammar in written and spoken interaction. Focus and repetition will enable you to proceed from your current plateau. You will learn how to broaden your language, by varying the lexical and grammatical structures available to you. This course is for C1 learners who are not yet confident in grammar when they speak or write in English as well as learners who need or want to be more precise.
