Will I find it hard?

Difficulty depends on your experience, interests, teaching and assessment. These are our reflection prompts, not an official difficulty rating.

  • Would regular vocabulary, listening and speaking practice fit the way you like to learn?
  • Check the language-entry eligibility rules and try a speaking/listening example with your teacher.

Does it scale up or down?
