Adrian Butler

The best course to learn modern tech vocabulary! After completing the first three modules, I started noticing that my foreign colleagues use the vocabulary I learned in the course all the time. Now, I know how to use it too! Additional thank you for the vocabulary cheat sheets and extra resources that make it easy to revise information.

Ivan

Very happy with the progress I've made while taking the Speaking & Listening course! The amount of new tech-related vocabulary I learned along with the improvements in my grammar and writing skills have exceeded my expectations. The only thing I regret is not choosing the Senior package as it would give me more opportunities to practice speaking.

Iryna Potienko

Great course to practice listening comprehension skills. The course contains a lot of podcasts. That was a bit unusual and challenging for me at first. However, now I feel so much more confident understanding and communicating with stakeholders and colleagues.

Alexandr Berezuk

An additive approach to learning. I expected a traditional school-like approach but got so much more! The lessons are very practical, engaging, and fun to do. I used to think I was just bad at languages but that has changed! Thanks English For IT for transforming my English learning journey.
