Intensive English Program

At Promova, we tailor intensive programs to the needs of every learner. For example, if you have an important English certification coming up in 30 days, we will help develop a daily routine that helps you practice specifically for it. So it will require you to practice every day for at least 1 hour to successfully complete the program.

Alternatively, if you plan to immigrate to the United Kingdom in 3 months, you can get a longer intensive program that prepares you for all kinds of real-life situations that can come up. You’ll practice with a native British tutor to get proper guidance. Remember, consistency is key! No matter how long your program lasts, you have to show up and practice to get results. 

Some Promova tutors specialize in preparing adults for office environments. In fact, we have a powerful business English program designed specifically to help professionals become fluent. As part of that, we also offer an English interview course that goes through common questions you’re likely to encounter while looking for a job.

However, you can also develop a personal program for your specific needs. For example, a programmer’s language course could be very different from a sales professional's. You can talk to your teacher to develop a plan that fits your profession and market for better results.

Moving up one level on the CEFR scale takes 100-120 hours of guided practice. However, fluency is a bit more difficult to define. In general, becoming an independent language user can take you anywhere from 500 to 700 hours of practice depending on many factors. 

Luckily, our intensive English online course is designed to help you achieve fluency faster. You can get more practice every day if you get directions and assistance. Moreover, lessons that relate directly to your personal goals and interests will make English enjoyable. You won’t even notice how quickly the practice time flies if every lesson is fun for you.

In our experience, intensive English practice is better with professional help. While self-guided intensive programs are available online, not everyone has the accountability and motivation to complete them. Furthermore, a teacher can see your strengths and create exercises that help achieve results faster.

So while you can practice daily on your own and succeed, a guided intensive program is a great choice to get there faster. However, if you aren’t sure if it’s right for you, try our language learning app for a more casual learning experience.

Science shows that learners achieve results faster when they don’t translate words, phrases, and structures into their native language. So even if it’s more difficult to understand English without translations at the beginning, your fluency will quickly improve if you stick with the program and put effort into it.

Moreover, working with a native tutor helps you intuitively understand pronunciation and grammar. You will learn to copy their sounds and better understand standard speech if you try to think in English while learning. In short, full immersion means that you have to spend as much time as possible only using English during your program.
