English for Travel – Speaking Course (B1–B2)

Imagine walking into a restaurant in Rome, a market in Bangkok, or a hotel lobby in New York — and feeling completely at ease. No hesitation. No panic. Just you, the conversation, and the experience.

This is not your typical English course. Instead of grammar rules and textbook exercises, each lesson takes you on a journey — exploring fascinating cultures, real-life situations, and the kind of English that actually matters when you're abroad.

Through engaging discussions and authentic role plays, you’ll build the speaking skills and confidence to handle any travel situation — from checking in at the airport to chatting with a local in a café.

This course is perfect for you if:

• You love travelling (or dream of it!)
• Your level is B1 or above
• You want to speak more, worry less
• You're tired of understanding English but struggling to respond
• You want to learn in a fun, supportive environment

What you'll get:

• Fascinating facts and stories about countries and cultures around the world
• Engaging role plays based on real travel scenarios
• Genuine speaking practice in a small, friendly group
• The vocabulary and phrases you actually need when travelling
• Confidence that stays with you long after the lesson ends

This short, intensive online course is designed for learners at B1–B2 level and focuses 100% on speaking. The course includes 18 hours of teaching over 4 weeks, with two 2-hour 15-minute online classes per week, giving you plenty of time to build fluency quickly.
