English courses
The unique Cambridge University Press learning system lets you learn English in an exciting, unique way. You can learn with Kalbis, no matter if you are a beginner or a more advanced user of English. Depending on how much time you study, you will need anywhere between 3 and 12 months in order to complete one level. Online access means instant access: anytime, anywhere – at home, in the library, park or during your lunch break.
You can watch the demo of the learning system here.
The course moderator is a professional English teacher who monitors each student’s progress, gives advice and answers your questions. Want to communicate in English ? Want to know how to do an exercise or use the Present Perfect correctly? The course moderator will help you with all sorts of questions. He also proof-reads your writing tasks. You can reach him by phone, e-mail or Skype. The Kalbis general English course moderator is a source of help and support who is never far away.
Kalbis Club is not your traditional English lesson. You won’t get grades, do grammar, reading, or listening exercises. All the time is allocated to communicating in English. You will express your opinion on a topic that is suggested either by you or by a teacher. Participation in Kalbis Club is optional but you are more than welcome to come by any time. Kalbis Club is the best way to improve your conversational English, become more comfortable while using it, and meet new people.
You will be directed to a Kalbis club that is suitable for your English level. You can find the timetable here.
You can join “Kalbis for Communication“ anytime during the course of the year. All you have to do is pay for the chosen period (3, 6 or 12 months). You can use the online learning system without any restrictions. The Course moderator will monitor your progress and will remind you of your duties, but in the end, the rate of progress depends on you. After the period for which you paid expires, you can take a break. If you decide to continue studying from where you left off, all your progress is saved and you will be able to pick up where you left off. Show levels
