Free Online English Course (Beginner to Elementary)
Learn English step by step with a free, structured online course built around the CEFR levels. Instead of random lessons, you follow a clear progress tree — each step unlocks the next — covering grammar, vocabulary and reading together.
The course is gamified to keep you going: daily streaks, XP and badges as you clear each unit. It starts with a quick placement test so you begin at exactly the right point.
What you'll learn
- A guided progress tree — grammar, vocabulary and reading in the right order
- Streaks, XP and badges that keep you motivated day after day
- On-demand translation into your language, without changing the English
- A free CEFR certificate whenever you want proof — from our free placement exam
Who this course is for
Complete beginners
If you have never studied English formally, or studied it years ago and remember almost nothing, the course starts from the verb be and builds from there. Nothing is assumed.
Self-taught learners who have plateaued
Many learners collect apps and videos but never follow a sequence, so gaps accumulate. A structured path fixes that by making each step depend on the one before it.
Learners preparing for work or study abroad
A1 and A2 cover the everyday language needed to arrive, settle and handle daily life. The free placement exam gives you a certificate as evidence of where you stand.
Anyone returning after a long break
The placement test means you do not have to guess. It puts you at your real level rather than making you restart from the beginning unnecessarily.
How the course works
Step 1 — Find your level
A short, free placement test establishes whether you should begin at A1 or A2. Studying above your level wastes weeks; studying below it wastes motivation.
Step 2 — Follow the progress tree
Each step unlocks the next, so you are never choosing what to study. Grammar, vocabulary and reading rotate through every unit rather than being separated into blocks.
Step 3 — Practise until it sticks
Every lesson ends with a scored check. You cannot advance by reading alone, which is what stops passive study from feeling like progress when it is not.
Step 4 — Prove it
Each level closes with an exam or a final project. When you want a shareable certificate recording your CEFR level, sit the free placement exam — it costs nothing either.
What the course covers, level by level
Both levels blend the three strands — grammar, vocabulary and reading — rather than teaching them in isolation, because that is how they are actually used.
| Level | Structure | Main grammar focus |
|---|---|---|
| A1 · Beginner | 6 units · 18 steps · final exam | be, pronouns, articles, present simple and continuous, can, have got, past simple |
| A2 · Elementary | 20 modules · 60 steps · final project | irregular past verbs, past continuous, both futures, present perfect, comparatives, modals |
| Assessment | placement test at the start, exam at the end | CEFR-aligned scoring; the free placement exam issues a certificate |
| Typical pace | 20–24 hours per level | about 15 minutes a day over 6–10 weeks |
What you will be able to do by the end
- Introduce yourself, your family and your work, and ask others about theirs
- Describe your routine, your past weekend and your plans for next month
- Handle everyday situations — shopping, travel, appointments, directions
- Read short graded texts without stopping at every second word
- Write a short message or email about a familiar topic
