Cafe English

4.8/5 (34 reviews)

Pre-Intermediate, Intermediate, Upper-Intermediate

This uniquely designed program is ideal for students who want to work in cafés or other customer service roles. It bridges the gap between the language classroom and a fast-paced, English-speaking workplace: students practise common workplace scenarios and receive specific, immediate one-on-one feedback from a certified ESL teacher. Students learn the language needed to work in a café and practise it every day.

  • Practise real-life café conversations.
  • Learn job-related vocabulary and use it in realistic situations.
  • Learn the basics of making coffee and other drinks while building your English vocabulary.
