The aim of this course is to give some basic skills to beginners in order to communicate in simple daily life situations in both social and professional life. These courses can start at any time during the year, as soon as a group of beginners has been identified.

Participants can apply either for an intensive course (7.5 weeks with 8 hours of classes per week) or semi-intensive course (10 weeks with 6 hours of classes per week) and choose between different times (morning – lunch time – late afternoon).
