General English

English for life! General English is a gateway to the world: whether for travel, study, research or to connect with people from all over the globe, English is the bridge that can take you there.

Our English courses focus on communication. Classes are in English from the very first day so you learn by doing, make real progress and feel more comfortable in English. Speaking, writing, listening and reading skills are developed, grammar is explained and demystified and vocabulary is integrated into lessons, ensuring you’re saying exactly what you want to say.

Whether you want to learn in a group or on your own with a teacher, long-term or short-term, with or without an internationally recognized exam, we have classes for you.

Open-enrollment means you can start many of our running classes whenever you want. Our group courses run year-round with just a short break over the Christmas and Easter holidays.

The experienced, passionate teachers at agi know how to teach you what you need while creating an atmosphere that is motivating and encouraging, building knowledge and confidence simultaneously.
