Overview
Intensive English Course – Maximum Progress in Minimum Time
Sometimes there is no time for a long-term language course. A new job may start in three weeks, an international trade fair may be approaching or an overseas assignment may have been announced at short notice. For these situations, we offer a compact intensive format: native-speaking trainers lead the live training, and the AI avatar supports practice between sessions.

Maximum Speaking Time
Our crash course follows a clear principle: maximum speaking time, minimum theory. In daily 4-hour sessions (Monday to Friday), you work exclusively with native-speaking trainers from the UK and USA. The lessons are fully tailored to your professional situation – whether you are preparing for client meetings, practising presentations, or training negotiation strategies in English. Each session builds on the previous one, so that by the end of the course you will notice a tangible improvement in fluency, vocabulary, and confidence.
Live Training with AI Practice in Between
Native-speaking trainers lead the intensive live sessions and give personal feedback on grammar, pronunciation and word choice. Between sessions, you can continue practising realistic conversations with the AI avatar.
Individual Curriculum After Placement Test
Before the course starts, we carry out a detailed placement test and discuss your individual goals in a consultation. On this basis, we create your personal curriculum. Whether individual training for maximum intensity or small group format (2–4 participants) for dynamic exercises – we find the format that suits you best. At the end of the course, you receive a written assessment of your progress with specific recommendations for further learning.
What to Expect
4 hours of live training daily (Mon–Fri). Native-speaking trainers (UK/USA). Individual curriculum after placement test. Additional AI avatar training around the clock. Final assessment with progress report.
