We live in a very small world. It has never been easier to travel across it, communicate with the other side of it, and do business anywhere on it. It is the language and the ability to speak with others that underpins it all.

The EF Method

Learning a language is no easy thing. EF focuses on using language accurately in real conversations, rather than just learning grammar and vocabulary on your own. Together with our academics we have taken it further and focus those conversations around real-life scenarios or ‘tasks’ and combine it with thousands of hours of learning material.

However, even the best task-based curriculum has to be complemented with another critical element: teachers. We know that the very best progress is only achieved when the student has as much access as possible to both learning content and teachers.

Want to learn even faster with more teacher time? Get highly engaging course content and endless opportunities to practice with teachers on topics of your choice.
