Level up from A1–A2 to B1–B2 — fluency, nuance, and real conversation
You've built a complete A1–A2 foundation: pronunciation, core grammar, the focus system, verbs, modals, negation, questions, requests, and everyday topics. This intermediate course takes you the rest of the way — the full verb-affix system, complex sentences, conditionals, opinions and argument, storytelling, register, and the language of media and abstract topics.
It's built as a two-tier series: B1 (Intermediate) first, then B2 (Upper-Intermediate). Each lesson keeps the same learning tools you know — objectives, audio, a self-check quiz, interactive exercises, a journal, and progress tracking — with its own glossary, Anki deck, and can-do checklist.
Independence: handle most situations, describe experiences, give reasons and opinions, produce connected text.
Actor & object focus reviewed — and why focus is the key to sounding natural.
Putting the spotlight on the place or recipient of an action.
Doing things for someone — the beneficiary in focus.

Can, managed to, and things that happened unintentionally.
Joining in and doing things to each other.
Recently-completed, finer nuance, and aspect across longer speech.
