What Activities are going to be there?
There is one big problem: students at the starting levels of the language do not attend speaking clubs at all, because they are shy. And guys with a high level of English want a challenge. We have solved this problem: for the three main levels - starters, intermediate and advanced - we will have three separate zones, and each with its own program. 😱

You can easily navigate and find your level activities by color marks.
Starters: Green
Levels Beginner–Elementary
Intermediate: Blue
Levels Pre-Intermediate–Intermediate
Advanced: Orange
Levels Upper-Intermediate–Advanced
