English for you – Intensive course for fast learning

This course is ideal for post-beginners and those who want to improve their understanding of English as it is spoken by the British and Americans. You will achieve this through dialogues and animated sketches in the original language with the voices of English and American professionals. You will learn to express yourself in the present, the past, the future, and in progressive tenses. The course contains ten teaching sections called “units”; each unit is composed of 4 or 5 lessons. Each lesson includes a video part with dialogues, sketches, teacher’s explanations, and exercises. Each lesson is accompanied by a pdf with the transcript of the video and one or more exercises. On a separate pdf, you will find the correct exercise (key).
