Questions about B1 Everyday English

Is this course right for me?

This course is for adults who can already use English in everyday situations. If you can talk about your life, describe a past event and make simple plans, B1 helps you explain more and share your ideas.

What is included in the course?

You get six units with vocabulary, grammar videos, reading and listening practice, interactive activities, and writing and guided speaking tasks. Model answers and checklists help you review your work.

Do I need to finish A2 first?

You can start here if you already feel comfortable with A2 English. You do not need to take our A2 course first. If everyday sentences and past events still feel difficult, A2 Everyday English is a good place to begin.

How long does the course take?

There is no fixed timetable. Take this B1 English course online at your own pace. Spend more time on a topic when you need it, and return to a lesson for more practice.

Are there live lessons?

This is a self-study course. You practise on your own and use model answers and checklists to review your writing and speaking. Live lessons and individual teacher marking are not included.
