English for Beginners: a free speaking-first course

Is this the right course for you?

Use this course if you are starting from the alphabet, translating every sentence in your head, or rebuilding foundations after a long gap.

The course contains 11 modules and 68 lessons. It is free and public. The stated study time is typical guided-learning time, and your own pace may be different.

What you will be able to do

• I can name and recognise all 26 letters, capital and small, then prove it in the final checkpoint.
• I can greet someone and say goodbye, then prove it in the final checkpoint.
• I can say who I am and where I am from in full sentences, then prove it in the final checkpoint.
• I can say whose things are whose, then prove it in the final checkpoint.
• I can say what is in my home or street, then prove it in the final checkpoint.
• I can talk about my routines in simple sentences, then prove it in the final checkpoint.
• Review your own work with a practical checklist instead of guessing whether it is good.

How the learning method works

A short explanation comes first. You then notice the pattern, say a model aloud, change it with your own information, answer a small check and complete one practical task. Urdu support is available where a new learner is most likely to need it.

Plan for four short study sessions each week. In one session, read and listen. In the next, speak without reading. Use the third to write your own sentences. Use the fourth to repeat the checkpoint and correct one weak point.

Open a module

Build evidence, not empty confidence

By the end, you should have short recordings, messages, forms, descriptions and stories that show practical A2 work. The exit assessment is an honest self-check, not a certificate.

Save work on your own device and never place confidential employer or client information in a practice example.

Study well on a phone or computer

Every activity works with touch and keyboard controls. Tables scroll on narrow screens, buttons keep a practical touch size, and quizzes retain a no-JavaScript answer path. Your completion record stays in this browser unless you export it.

What comes after this course?

After the A2 exit assessment, continue to Advanced English when you can describe routines, past events, plans and everyday needs without copying the lesson model.
