ICELANDIC

Icelandic courses
The purpose of Icelandic courses is not only to meet ministerial requirements, but also to assist foreigners in settling in Iceland. Students learn to use Icelandic in everyday situations as well as learn to translate simple texts using a dictionary and grammar rules that are clearly taught during the course.

Polish courses for foreigners
The communicative language teaching method is applied to the lessons. It puts emphasis on learning the ability to speak. All lessons, including beginner level, are taught in Polish only. We usually work in international groups and often Polish is the only language to communicate. This method gives surprisingly quick results - what motivates students. Conversations are practiced from the earliest stages of learning through carefully designed exercises such as simulations, role playing, and language games. We use the best and well-liked textbooks. In addition, our teachers complement the textbooks with their own, interesting materials.

The course is adapted to the student's level and ability. Lessons are usually held once a week for 80 minutes or twice a week for 60 minutes. This type of course is excellent both as a self-study course and as a complement to another course.

Group courses
are offered to everyone wishing to enroll in our regular course once or twice a week for 80 minutes. This course is designed for people who want to develop the language skills necessary to communicate in all situations of everyday life and work. Using various teaching methods and techniques, all four language skills are developed: writing, speaking, reading and listening. We teach free and proper communication and develop the vocabulary of our students. We teach not only to talk, but how to speak. We take care of language diligence, correct pronunciation and the use of appropriate grammatical structures. Grammar is intended to be a tool for building sentences and expressions and to create a sense of security in the use of the language.
