Principles that make learning easy
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.

Thank you, Alexander, for this experience. I thought I did not have much to learn. I never thought, that I could improve so much so quickly.

Frequently asked questions
You get immediate access to all course lessons from the moment you join. And the course layout is incredibly easy to use. You’ll be learning effortlessly just a few minutes from now.
Yes! The course will be available to you without limitation forever. You can go back and forth as much as you like, whenever you like.
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.
The guided part of the course is focussed on 8 weeks to help you learn better! Starting by learning step-by-step 5-15 min. a day for eight weeks is simply the best way to quickly and easily improve the English you need. After that you have as much time as you want to practice everything in the course so that it becomes a habit that, like riding a bike, you cannot unlearn.
Simply Better English comes with a 16-week email accompaniment process that walks you through each module and provides reminders to review course materials. It's like someone is holding your hand through the entire course.
Nope. Everything you need is included in the course. If you order the 'online' version without live Zoom trainings, you can order the 8 week 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.
