Intermediate English
What You'll Learn
- Distinguish between British and American English terminology for everyday travel and food, including pairs like motorway and freeway or aubergine and eggplant.
- Apply comparative and superlative structures correctly, including irregular forms, two-syllable exceptions, and phrases using 'former' and 'latter'.
- Select the appropriate definite, indefinite, or zero article based on specific rules for first mentions, unique nouns, meals, and general plurals.
- Pronounce subtle consonant contrasts like 'cheap' versus 'jeep' and alter the pronunciation of 'the' before vowel and consonant sounds.
- Combine verbs and adjectives with their correct dependent prepositions, such as 'apologized to' and 'argued with', in everyday speech.
- Formulate and record spoken audio responses detailing personal experiences, dietary preferences, and commute routines for direct instructor feedback.
About This Course
Led by Professor Christopher Corton, this course focuses strictly on active communication across four key areas: spoken fluency, pronunciation, grammar, and practical vocabulary. Instead of spending hours on passive reading passages or written essays, you will work through targeted speaking assignments, listen to audio files, and practice directly with conversation partners and weekly live sessions. You will move beyond basic sentence patterns to express nuanced ideas about travel, city navigation, food, and daily routines. By completing systematic grammar exercises and vocal drills, you will know exactly when to apply complex article rules, construct accurate comparative forms, and choose natural word combinations without second-guessing yourself.
Who this is for: This course is designed for intermediate learners who can already hold basic English conversations but want to eliminate recurring grammar errors, refine pronunciation, and speak more naturally. You should have a foundational grasp of simple tenses and be ready to actively participate through audio recordings and partner discussions.

Before You Decide
Playlists don't have quizzes, don't track progress, don't pull videos from multiple channels into a sequence, and don't give you a certificate. A playlist is a list. This is a course.
The videos are still free. What costs money is the structure around them: modules in the right order, quizzes built from the content, progress that follows you across devices, and a certificate at the end. You could piece all of that together yourself. Or you could have it built in minutes.
They're yours. Permanently. Every certificate you earned stays dated, valid, and shareable whether you're still subscribed or not. Cancelling doesn't touch anything you've already completed.
Install it from the Chrome Web Store. When you're on any YouTube video, click the YouVersity icon to save it to your library. Once you've saved enough, turn your library into a structured course. It's a second way to create courses: instead of typing a topic, you hand-pick the videos yourself.
The opposite. Videos stay embedded on YouTube. Every view in a course is a real view on their channel with their ads. We send them focused, motivated viewers who actually watch to the end. Creators keep everything they already earn, plus new traffic.
Probably not. Most people take two or three. At $9 a month, even one course is worth it compared to buying individually. The 30 is a ceiling, not a homework assignment.
