Course Description
Welcome to the English Foundation course!
This course covers every area of English learning. We took all the most important parts from our other English courses and built the foundation course. It is a one-of-a-kind course and it is going to help you take your English to a new level.
|English Foundation Course|
This course will help you build a strong foundation in English grammar, speaking, listening, writing, and more. you will learn about the following topics:
Casual English Conversation and Speaking
Learn how to have great English conversations. Become fluent in everyday topics. Impress your friends and coworkers with your smooth English! The world is using English more and more every day, but without strong English speaking skills, you will fall behind and not have access to your best life.
Learn useful English vocabulary, verbs, and phrases to take your English to the next level. Practice building responses to important questions using important grammar structures.
Essential English Grammar
Learn English grammar in use and how to use it in real English conversation so you can improve your English Speaking. Every lesson has dozens of useful English Grammar examples, guided practice, real-life English conversation and speaking, and worksheet pdfs full of practice problems to help you learn English.
Verb Conjugation and Fluency
Upgrade your English by mastering all the verb tenses for some of the most used English verbs! Many English learners can only use the basic verb tenses fluently making their English sound simple and limited. This section is designed to take you to the next level and help you master all the English verb tenses so you can create and use much more complex English!
English Sentence Structures and Types
This section is for English learners who want a better understanding of English. Understanding English parts of speech and sentence structure are key to improving your speaking, writing and listening. Most students skip English parts of speech and sentence structure and this causes many problems later in their learning. Think about it. If an athlete were to skip the basics of their sport, would they be able to master it? The answer is no, and it's the same for language. Building a solid foundation is just as important as learning the higher-level 'fancy' grammar. And the truth is, if you spend a little extra time learning this now, you will save yourself a whole lot of time down the road.

Yes, actually, I was looking into this for my children. When I take a bird’s-eye view, I realize that these concepts are essential for both elementary and high school students. Unfortunately, they are sometimes overlooked. It would be great if all courses could cover these fundamental concepts so that students don’t miss important foundations.

My English is not bad, but it's passive; I don't often have the opportunity to speak. I would like to better understand videos, podcasts, movies, etc. The course is ok, has a good pace, and I'm already making progress. I think it would be good if the AI tutor wasn't so aggressive, but practice will improve me. I'm already making progress. So far, so good.

I would appreciate it if you stopped asking me what I think of the content after every flipping video. it is annoying and deters my progress. maybe if I get to complete the course uninterrupted I would be able to give a proper feedback. bad enough I have to deal with ads
