If you have answered yes, then a 1-1 intensive course is the right way forward. It will build your confidence, credibility and English ability within a 1 or 2 week period.
Dialogue’s intensive courses are effective, focused and engaging. They are not a holiday from work: you’ll need to do assignments and will be constantly pushed outside your comfort zone in English, but encouraged and supported at all times so you feel at ease.

You’ll have 32 hours of contact time with your trainers: studying, researching, practising, and executing the clearly pre-defined outcomes and objectives of your course.
You’ll learn and develop your English inside the classroom and outside it, through task-based activities and extra-curricular trips to places such as state-of-the-art factories, historical cities or even a football club.
As it’s 1-1 training (and occasionally you will have 2 trainers) you get the individual attention you need to make the rapid progress we promise.
Whether you choose a 1 or 2 week UK intensive English course, we highly recommend a residential option to make the most of your time here: you’ll have chance to practise your English in a different situation and absorb yet more British culture as you eat with your family and their friends. If you prefer some independence, we can also organise hotel accommodation.
Finally, we offer extra modules to suit your personal interests such as golfing days, theatre visits or mountain biking in Wales. It is important to immerse yourself in order to obtain maximum benefit from your time on the course.

Yes. We recommend staying with one of our welcoming host families. They will enable you to put into practice what you’ve learnt during the day through chatting over a traditional, home-cooked meal. You will also learn a lot about English culture and life here. Alternatively, we can arrange hotel accommodation nearby.
We don’t run fixed-date courses, so you have complete flexibility regarding timing, duration and frequency. Bookings 2+ weeks in advance is always appreciated to enable the course to be prepared thoroughly, host family organised and activities set up.
