What they are saying about the course
English learning that makes sense
Optimize how to learn
How the language is taught determines how fast and comfortably you develop. Learn by doing one step at a time explained in a way that makes sense.
Improve quickly by making English a habit, not something you 'study'.
Form over content
Too much content when the form is not stable causes confusion and frustration. First master the form with simple words, then add vocabulary, one word at a time.
Simply Better English lets you master the form of the language in your lived life and work-world.
The rubber on the road
Personalized content from your life keeps you motivated and the learning relevant. Keep it real by focussing your learning on your life, the people you know, and what you need to do with English.
The Simply Better English personalized learning journey makes learning real and self-motivating.
What's in the course
5-15 minute exercises per day. The more you know, the faster your path through the course. Enough time for everyone to reach their next level goals.

This course has been designed to deliver the maximum amount of value in the minimum amount of time. The online training should take about seven hours hours to work through. It has been cut up into short 15 Min. lessons and chapters of five minutes or less. So you can take small steps and easily refer back to any lesson or topic whenever needed.
No worries. It is not about keeping up! You can go as fast or slow as you feel comfortable. A smart email impulse and motivation program will remind of your next steps so that you don't get 'to' lazy 🙂 This is not a competition.

Nope. Everything you need is included in the course. If you order the 'online' version without live Zoom trainings, you can order the Live Zoom training package at any time.
At the moment we prefer zoom for ease of use and because of the breakout rooms allowing for small group work. For company private courses we can also use the tool you prefer.
I don't claim to be an accountant, but participants are often able to get their training reimbursed by their company or write it off as a training expense for their small business.
