For example, the intensive course, which consists of four lesson days per week, offers twice as many class sessions as the evening course, which has two lesson days per week.

In our intensive and super-intensive courses, you can complete the beginner levels A1, A2, or B1 within two months. For the advanced levels B2 and C1, the duration is three and four months, respectively. However, if you opt for our evening courses, you will need twice as long to complete each level compared to the intensive courses.

Overall, the pace of your progress will depend on the course type you choose and the frequency of lessons per week.
