A0 English for Beginners Course

English learning classes for beginners help people who start with no English skills. Everyone starts somewhere, and no learner is an entirely blank slate. However, this class is for people with little to no foundational training in school or professional life. If you struggle to understand simple structures and need a translator to read this page - you would benefit from learning English for beginners.

If you decide to learn English beginner grammar, then you need to start with the verb to be and simple structures. Then, you can slowly build on these structures and learn Present Simple and everyday vocabulary. Basic English knowledge builds on the alphabet, pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary. A beginner’s vocabulary usually includes anywhere from 500 to 3000 words, which sounds like a lot, but becomes much easier when these words are tied to everyday topics.

You can learn English on your own by studying books and immersing yourself in the environment. However, very few people have the self-studying discipline to achieve this. So instead, our learners opt to use Promova to help on their journey.

We offer a lot of original and adapted materials for your tutoring lessons and to practice on your own in the app. You can review topics, learn new words, and check in with your individual lesson plan.

There are a lot of books for the beginner level, and all of them can get you started. For example, the book English File from Oxford University Press includes 12 modules. Each of the modules contains small lessons on different topics. Another good coursebook is Cutting Edge, this is a universal one. The Language Live section contains tasks on vocabulary, grammar, and writing. Finally, in the World Culture section, you can find many relevant topics helpful in learning English and general knowledge.

However, if you want to get deep into English learning, we recommend you work with a tutor and combine self-study with guided lessons.

Conversations depend entirely on your speaking confidence. The higher your English level, the more meaningful you can make them. If you’re a beginner, start with basic introductions and greetings. Next, learn to talk about yourself, ask simple questions, and build from there.

Guidance from a tutor in English for beginners can also help you practice common topics without fear of embarrassment. This way, you’ll be in an environment where mistakes are expected, and you can learn a great deal from them. 

Your exact learning pace will depend on your personal qualities and motivation. Practice speaking at your own pace with Promova!
