It's 9 a.m. You arrive at work. What do you say to your manager?

This course is for people who start English from zero. With Emma, your teacher, you learn the first phrases you really need: saying hello, telling people your name and where you are from, counting from zero to twenty, ordering a coffee and understanding the price.

Every lesson takes about ten minutes and is written in very simple English, with a translation of each new word into Italian, French, Romanian and German. Real conversations, easy exercises, no heavy grammar.

At the end there is a short test: pass it and you get an ApprendoLab certificate of completion.

What you'll learn

  • Say hello and goodbye, formally and informally
  • Introduce yourself: name, country, job
  • Count from 0 to 20 and say your age
  • Order a coffee or a drink in a café
  • Ask for and understand a price

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know some English already?

No. The course starts from zero and every new word has a translation into your language.

Are the lessons in English?

Yes, but in very simple English, with short sentences and translations. It is the fastest way to get used to the language.

How long is the course?

About one hour: six ten-minute lessons and a final test, whenever you like.

Is the certificate an official qualification?

No. It is an ApprendoLab certificate of completion, not a language certification like Cambridge, IELTS or TOEFL, and it does not attest a CEFR level.

Can I retake the test?

Yes, as many times as you like: the questions change at every attempt.
