English course from zero to B2

An online course of English for people starting from zero or coming back after a long break. Forty lessons lead from A1 to B2: each one is a real situation with recurring characters, new words with sound and translation, one grammar topic explained in your language, a dictation and a speaking task. A test closes every stage and shows which lessons to review.

How the course works

3 steps

Find your starting point

Beginners start with lesson one; if you already know some English, the level test shows which stage to begin with.

Take a lesson a day

A lesson takes 10–15 minutes: a dialogue, new words, a grammar rule with practice, a dictation and a sentence to say aloud.

Return for review

Every mistake comes back in “Review” a day later, then after 3, 7, 14 and 30 days, until it sticks.

What is inside

Eight stages from A1 to B2

40 lessons and 8 stage tests built on the CEFR scale and the English Vocabulary Profile: from am / is / are to mixed conditionals.

Dialogues in two voices

Every lesson starts with a scene from the life of Maria, a designer who moves to Toronto. Play it at normal or slow speed, replay any line or listen with the text hidden.

Words with sound and IPA

Nine to ten words per lesson with American pronunciation, a transcription, a translation into your language and an example from the dialogue — then a quick recall check.

Grammar in your language

The rule of the lesson is explained in the language of this page, with examples to listen to and an explanation for every answer in the exercises.

Dictation and speaking

You type what you hear and see each missed word; you say a sentence and the browser’s speech recognition shows which words it understood.

Questions about the course

I already know some English. Do I have to start from lesson one?

No. Take the English Level Test first. Stages 1–2 of the course cover A1, stages 3–4 — A2, stages 5–6 — B1, stages 7–8 — B2. Start with the stage of your result, and use its stage test to check that the earlier material is solid.

The speaking task does not hear me. What can I do?

Speech recognition is done by the browser: it works in Chrome, Edge and Safari and needs microphone access for this site. Speak at a normal pace in a quiet room, about an arm’s length from the device. If your browser has no recognition, the task turns into “listen and repeat aloud” with a self-check, and it never blocks the lesson.

Does the course check my writing?

Every lesson ends with a short writing task on its topic. The course does not grade free writing automatically: after you write, you compare your text with a model answer and rate yourself. Spelling is checked automatically in the dictation, word by word.

How is this course different from the English Grammar Course on the site?

The English Grammar Course is a reference of grammar topics by level that you can open in any order. This course is a path: each lesson joins one of those grammar topics with a situation, vocabulary, listening, a dictation and speaking, and every stage ends with a test.

Why does the dictation accept “I am” when the sentence says “I’m”?

The dictation checks words, not punctuation or capital letters, and it treats short and full forms as the same: I’m = I am, don’t = do not. What counts is that you heard every word.
