About course

In our afternoon snapshot, we'll have a lively discussion about news from around the world and at home, talk about your travel cravings, and current trends in technology. Expand not only your English vocabulary but also your insight into current events around the world. In an unforced way, for example using hypothetical situations, we will learn useful idioms, play different games and most importantly, definitely won't be bored.

In the pleasant atmosphere of a small group, you will gradually gain the confidence to speak and not be ashamed of any mistakes. Together we'll agree on topics so that they are interesting and useful for everyone - to allow us to practice common colloquial phrases as best as possible. In fact, we know from experience that conversation courses are effective when our brains are thinking fully about "how to say this" and not "what to say about this". Under the guidance of an experienced tutor, the afternoon conversations on various topics will also be useful grammar practice with an emphasis on individual needs.

Starting your working week in the heart of the Old Town with inspiring topics and the feeling that you have done something useful for your personal development on Monday will surely recharge you with positive energy.

Who is the course for

The course is suitable for students who have an advanced level of English somewhere in the B2 level and would like to maintain this level and brush up their communication skills. The course has a frequency of 1x90min per week, so it is one of those courses that keeps the language in shape rather than pushing it up a level. It is thus aimed at those who don't have a lot of time but still plan to stay in touch with English.

Testimonials

We have been cooperating with the Bridge for several years. I appreciate their attitude towards us as clients and their innovative approach to our employees as students. The progress in their English is significant. They invest into their teachers, which reflects in our language improvement. I have a great personal experience with individual classes, which help me not just to improve my English skills, but also to empower me for important presentations and meetings held in English.

Ivana Molnárová

CEO

Education is an integral part of our growth. We have transferred our education online, including English lessons, as English is crucial for us. We are an export business partner with an international team. We prefer group education, as it maintains a higher level of motivation, as each of us is naturally sociable with a greater or lesser degree of competitiveness.

Profesia has been cooperating with the Bridge since 2009. For us, language learning at The Bridge is an excellent investment. Since our owner is an English- speaking company, our employees often must present their work, results and achievements in English. I should say that thanks to the professional approach of The Bridge, our employees have moved to levels where they have no problems delivering presentations, taking part in meetings etc..

Janka Bérešová

It was my best choice of language school. The teacher recommended me extra things to study that I had not even heard of before.

Ján Lontoš

As far as I´m concerned, the Bridge – English Language Centre, is the best option for learning the language. I have been in many courses, but if you want to learn more just theoretical grammar, if you want to really understand, read, write and speak fluently, then the Bridge is the best option. From my perspective it has been a great investment, worth my time and money.

Ing. Jarmila Halgašová

Member of Slovak Parliament, SAS

The Bridge language school means an extremely good teaching experience, for me for sure. Everyone is very flexible, ready to communicate anytime and on a friendly basis. They always try to accommodate my needs. The teachers are very professional and friendly. I have experience with several language schools, The Bridge has given me something extra.
