Online Courses

The following online course is now available:

English Poetry  (in Russian) -- the course aims to help students learn or refresh several key grammatical concepts through songs and poems. It helps students to start enjoying the beauty of the English language.

When speaking English, they feel they leave behind poetry, humour, and fun. They miss their native language and feel lonely when speaking English. This often leads to motivation problems. 

The course helps students to discover a different side of the English language. 

The course is best suitable for intermediate learners of English. It is available in Russian
