How is General English different from Business English?

While General English teaches broad language skills, Business English targets vocabulary, phrases, and etiquette used in the workplace—emails, presentations, and meetings.

What’s the best way to learn vocabulary?

Use new words in context. Make flashcards, label objects at home, or write short stories using them. Repetition and usage help words stick.

How long does it take to learn English?

It depends on your goals, native language, and how much you practice. With regular effort, noticeable improvement can happen in a few months.

What are the essential grammar topics I should learn first?

Start with verb tenses (present simple, past simple), sentence structure, articles (a/an/the), prepositions, and question forms.

Do I need perfect grammar to speak English fluently?

Not at all! Fluency is about communicating ideas smoothly. Grammar helps, but it’s okay to make mistakes while learning. Practice builds confidence and clarity.

How can I improve my English speaking skills?

Speak daily—even if it’s to yourself! Use apps, join conversation groups, or practice with a partner. The more you speak, the more natural it becomes.

Should I focus more on British or American English?

Both are acceptable. Focus on the variety most useful for your goals, but understanding both is helpful—they share most vocabulary and grammar.

How can I overcome the fear of making mistakes?

Remember: mistakes are part of learning. Even native speakers make them. Embrace errors as stepping stones—they show you’re growing.

Frequently Asked Questions - Placement Test

A placement test checks your current level of English skills—grammar, vocabulary, reading, listening, and sometimes speaking. It helps teachers place you in the right class so you can learn at the pace that’s best for you.

Most placement tests take between 30 to 60 minutes. They usually start with easier questions and gradually get harder. Don’t worry—it’s not about passing or failing, just showing what you already know.

Not really! It’s best to approach it with a relaxed mind. However, getting a good night’s sleep and reviewing some common vocabulary or grammar can help you feel more confident.

Absolutely! With online resources, podcasts, videos, and language partners, you can create an immersive environment right at home.
