What Can You Learn at Shakespeare?
Shakespeare focuses on teaching general English. After completing our school’s core program, students should be able to:
- Discuss a wide variety of topics in English. They should be able to introduce themselves and others, ask questions and understand the answers, go shopping, and interact socially.
- Have a foundation to build upon. Your training at Shakespeare will enable you to continue reaching new heights with your English.
- Pursue specialty English training. After you have a fair grasp of general English, you may wish to learn vocabulary that is specific to a certain area. Teacher Onès is equipped to teach business English, medical English, and more.
