Acest program este adresat cursanților încrezători în propriile forțe, care stăpânesc limba, dar simt nevoia să treacă de la un discurs corect la unul extrem de nuanțat, elegant și adaptat oricărui context profesional sau personal. Dacă ai căutat un curs de engleză online sau lecții de engleză la nivel avansat care să depășească tiparele clasice, ai ajuns exact unde trebuie.
Cursul cuprinde 60 de lecții structurate în 10 unități tematice captivante. Vei explora subiecte diverse și relevante pentru viața contemporană, cum ar fi: o scrisoare către editor, conducerea unei ședințe a locatarilor, lucruri pe care le considerăm de la sine înțelese, supraanalizarea și împărtășirea excesivă a detaliilor personale, coordonarea unui curs de gătit, vecini remarcabili, recenzii profunde sau supraestimate, viitorul mașinilor proprietate personală, eroul local la radio, discuții relaxate la o cafea, literele mici dintr-un contract, întoarcerea acasă la părinți, eufemisme, bogații și săracii, sau consilierea relațională.
Din punct de vedere gramatical, programul acoperă aspecte complexe pentru nivelul C2: propoziții subordonate nominale pe post de subiect și obiect (the fact that..., what worries me is whether...), viitorul formal (be to, be slated to, be poised to), adverbiale de perspectivă și atitudine (frankly, ironically, technically speaking), comparații avansate, prepoziții complexe (in view of, by virtue of, notwithstanding), utilizarea preparatorie a pronumelui "it", exprimarea criticii și a nemulțumirii cu ajutorul modalelor la trecut (you might have told me, should have known better), construcții absolute, formarea cuvintelor prin prefixe și sufixe, conversia și neologismele din mediul de afaceri, inversiunea după expresii de timp, verbe prepoziționale și mod pasiv, condiționale formale, conjunctivul formulat și expresii fixe, sintagme nominale complexe, raportarea surselor, colocații de grad, negare avansată, propoziții cleft avansate, verbele "will" și "would" pentru presupuneri și comportament caracteristic, prezentul narativ și gramatica titlurilor de presă, structuri impersonale pentru asumarea responsabilității, verbe modale în documente formale, limbaj vag și aproximare, markeri discursivi vorbiți, inversiune după "as" și "than", idiomuri și expresii fixe, cuvinte de referință formale, fronting pentru stil și focalizare, fraze cu "if" pentru nuanță, politețe cu forme continue, subestimare și eufemism, verbe prepoziționale la C2, utilizarea corectă a construcțiilor cu 's sau of, precum și articole și determinatori la nivel avansat.
Fiecare lecție introduce între 20 și 30 de cuvinte noi, totalizând 1296 de termeni pe parcursul întregului nivel, iar cuvintele învățate anterior revin constant pentru a fi fixate temeinic în memorie.
Sistemul de învățare este gândit să fie extrem de accesibil și interactiv. Pe pagină găsești exerciții interactive, înregistrări audio pe care le poți asculta, texte de lectură, un dicționar încorporat cu traduceri în română și rusă, precum și propria ta listă de cuvinte. Totul funcționează bine și pe telefonul mobil, astfel încât să poți studia oricând și oriunde.
După finalizarea acestui nivel, vei comunica în engleză mai natural, mai nuanțat și mai precis, fie că redactezi documente formale, conduci negocieri complexe sau porți discuții informale.
Poți începe imediat și complet gratuit: primele 10 lecții sunt deschise tuturor fără a fi nevoie de un cont, iar lecțiile de la 11 la 20 sunt gratuite dacă îți creezi un cont folosind numele și adresa de e-mail.

О курсе Everyday English, уровень Advanced
Эта программа разработана для тех, кто уже владеет английским, но хочет сделать свою речь предельно точной, элегантной и выразительной. Если вы искали курс английского языка онлайн или уроки английского продвинутого уровня, которые выходят за рамки стандартных учебников, вы попали по адресу.
Курс включает 60 уроков, разделенных на 10 увлекательных модулей. Вы разберете темы, максимально приближенные к реальной жизни: письмо в редакцию, ведение собрания жильцов, вещи, которые мы принимаем как должное, оверинкинг и избыток личной информации в общении, проведение кулинарного мастер-класса, выдающиеся соседи, глубокие или переоцененные рецензии, будущее личных автомобилей, местный герой на радио, непринужденная беседа за чашкой чая, мелкий шрифт в документах, возвращение к родителям во взрослом возрасте, эвфемизмы, богатые и бедные, а также работа семейного консультанта.
С точки зрения грамматики программа охватывает самые сложные аспекты уровня C2: именные придаточные в роли подлежащего и дополнения (the fact that..., what worries me is whether...), формальное выражение будущего времени (be to, be slated to, be poised to), наречия позиции и точки зрения (frankly, ironically, technically speaking), сложные формы сравнения, комплексные предлоги (in view of, by virtue of, notwithstanding), вводное "it" в роли дополнения, выражение критики и недовольства через модальные глаголы прошедшего времени (you might have told me, should have known better), абсолютные конструкции, словообразование с помощью префиксов и суфиксов, конверсию и бизнес-неологизмы, инверсию после обстоятельств времени, предложные и фразальные глаголы в пассивном залоге, формальные условные предложения, застывшие сослагательные конструкции, сложные именные группы, цитирование источников, степени интенсивности признаков, продвинутые формы отрицания, сложные конструкции cleft sentences, глаголы "will" и "would" для выражения предположений и характерного поведения, нарративный презенс и язык заголовков новостей, безличные и пассивные структуры для выражения ответственности, модальные глаголы в официальных документах, язык неточных формулировок и аппроксимации, разговорные дискурсивные маркеры, инверсию после "as" и "than", идиомы и устойчивые выражения, официальные слова-отсылки, эмфатический вынос элементов предложения для стиля и фокуса, фразы с "if" для передачи тонких оттенков, вежливые формы с Continuous, элементы недосказанности и эвфемизмы, предложные глаголы уровня C2, правила использования притяжательного падежа с существительными и артикли с детерминативами.
Каждый урок содержит от 20 до 30 новых слов (всего 1296 слов за весь курс), а ранее изученная лексика регулярно возвращается в упражнениях для надежного закрепления в памяти.
Платформа устроена максимально удобно: на каждой странице вас ждут интерактивные упражнения, аудиозаписи для прослушивания, тексты для чтения, встроенный словарь с переводом на румынский и русский языки, а также ваш личный список слов. Всё отлично работает прямо на экране смартфона.
После завершения курса вы сможете общаться по-английски с такой же свободой, глубиной и изяществом, как образованный носитель языка — будь то составление официальных документов, ведение сложных переговоров или непринужденная светская беседа.
