General EnglishEveryday English that actually comes out of your mouth
From your first words to comfortable, natural conversation — our flagship course builds the four skills together, with speaking always at the centre.
Learn the language, then live in it
General English at Cadence follows a communicative approach: grammar and vocabulary are introduced through situations you will genuinely meet, then practised out loud until they feel natural. You will leave each class having spoken far more than you listened.
Terms run in ten-week blocks, and you can join at almost any level thanks to our rolling placement. Classes are capped at eight so nobody hides at the back.
