ABOUT
ENGLISH |
| English
is a hybrid language.
Its grammar and most basic
vocabulary comes out of the
Germanic family of
languages. Yet there is
much French influence on its
grammar and vocabulary.
40-60% of English words are
directly derived from
French. It is
fairly easy to learn English for
anyone who speaks a European
language. |
| Vocabulary |
| English
vocabulary has a lot in common
with the romance languages -
French, Spanish, Italian,
Portuguese. It also
contains many Germanic-based
words, especially at the most
basic, day-to-day level. |
| Grammar |
| English
grammar is very manageable. There
aren't many forms to learn and
the word order is pretty
systematic. There also
are some challenging grammar
points to learn. Our
English lessons will take you
through all the patterns
systematically and
practically. |
| Pronunciation |
| English
pronunciation is of medium
difficulty. The greatest
challenge when you learn English really comes from
the irregular spelling
system. |
| In
our English courses, you will
get a practical knowledge of
the language and a variety of
tools and approaches that will
allow you to develop your
knowledge long after you have
finished the course. |
