An empty spot on a card says nothing: the number of passes, where the exam has already been passed, and the subject area is there when it has been assigned.

Version 1.0.0, 3 October 2026
level: beginner
English for Russian speakers who live in the UK and know a little English. The course takes you from A1 to a confident A2 through everyday British situations: neighbours and forms, renting a flat, the supermarket and café, buses and trains, the GP, pharmacy, 111 and 999, the council and bins, the bank, your child's school, work and a job interview. Every unit gives you ready-to-use phrases, one piece of grammar (to be, articles, Present Simple and Continuous, Past Simple, will and going to, Present Perfect, modal verbs) and politeness — why a correct Russian-style sentence can sound rude in English and how to fix it. Explanations are in Russian; examples and dialogues are in British English.

Version 1.1.0, 27 September 2026
level: intermediate
An extended course on English conditionals for B1–C1, written for students and professionals in IT. It goes beyond the school four — zero / first / second / third — and builds on the Celce-Murcia and Larsen-Freeman classification (factual, future-predictive and imaginative conditions), so you learn to choose a structure by meaning — fact, habit, implication, inference about the past, prediction, command, advice, hypothesis, the impossible — rather than plugging in «type two». Separate branches cover mixed conditionals, modals in the result clause, connectors other than if (unless, otherwise, provided that, as long as, only if, supposing, even if, whether or not) and the formal register with inversion (Should you need…, Had we known…). Every example and exercise comes from a developer’s working context: documentation and specifications, estimates, SLAs and contracts, code review, incident analysis, ADRs and RFCs, on-call and runbooks. The course ends with a practicum: a postmortem, a stakeholder email and a pull request comment, all written with conditionals.

Version 1.1.0, 23 September 2026
level: intermediate
Business writing in English for software engineers in Big 4 consulting. The course is not about the format of a letter but about pragmatics: why a Russian-speaking professional is heard as blunter than they are, and how that is fixed. Its axis is room for refusal: an English business message leaves the reader a way to object, decline or explain, and that room is created by the text rather than assumed. Six classes of softening, a 22-item RU→EN interference register, the softening ceiling (where directness is mandatory), the grammar of blameless causation. Genres: client email, code review, chat and tracker, escalation, refusal and change request, status and RAG, incident communication. Every example comes from an engineer’s working day on a project. Entry level B1–B2, model answers are given at two levels.

Version 1.1.0, 18 September 2026
level: advanced
An extended course of English phrasal verbs for B2–C1. The first half is built around the most frequent base verbs (do, make, get, take, give, come, put, run, set, keep, go, turn, bring, see, play, draw, call, hold, lay, bear, let, work, be), the second around particles (up, down, in, out, on, off, over, through, around/about, with, for, to, of, back, away, at, by, into, after, against, together, as). Separate units cover the syntax of phrasal verbs, the language of movement and road vocabulary, and antonym and synonym clusters. The course insists that a particle carries a stable meaning of its own: once you grasp the logic of up/down/out/off, you start inferring what unfamiliar combinations mean instead of memorising them as a list. The syllabus (scope and order of topics) follows Dave Nicholls, «Visual Phrasal Verbs» (2019); all explanations, examples and exercises were written anew for this course.
