About CEFR levels
At Lingoda, we use the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), an international standard for language learning progress. It defines six levels, from Beginner (A1) and Elementary (A2) through Intermediate (B1, B2) to Advanced (C1). Each level builds on the one before, leading toward near-native fluency.

Yes, it is. As English is the official language of the business world, it’s essential to have a good understanding of English to communicate effectively. Taking a Business English course online with Lingoda will improve your English and teach you specific terminology used in a workplace environment.
The difference between the two is that while a general English course covers a wide variety of topics, some relating to the workplace, Business English classes have a specific focus on content related to the professional world. In Business English lessons, you will learn phrases and terminology to use in the workplace. You will also learn how to prepare and perform in an interview, negotiate a contract, deal with meetings, criticism, feedback, schedule or cancel appointments, and network in a business environment. What you will learn in a Business English class is more specific to a work environment and will help you advance in a competitive market.
It’s usually not harder than English overall — it’s more specific. The challenge is getting comfortable with workplace patterns (meetings, feedback, negotiating, polite phrasing). Lingoda makes this easier by using conversation, light debate, and role-play from day 1 in a small-class setting.
Our business English course features language and situations taken from real meetings, at some of the most successful companies in the world. It is tailor-made with dedicated sections for topics such as negotiating skills, business correspondence and intercultural communication. Anyone who has ever worked in a company knows these are a big deal!
In all of our lessons we have a theory section followed by many activities to help you get confident speaking Business English. You will use your new Business English skills in a meaningful context, just as if you were working in a real company. What’s more, you can download our learning materials, even if you haven’t signed up. Perfect if you want to prepare for your class, or revise afterwards.
Because general English doesn’t give you enough repetition for the moments that matter at work — interviews, meetings, negotiation, networking, and business travel. A Business English course targets those scenarios so you build credibility and confidence in professional conversations faster.
You’ll build practical workplace skills like:
1. Interviewing and networking confidently
2. Negotiating and handling conflict
3. Speaking up in meetings and answering tough questions
4. Business vocabulary + professional phrasing
5. Business correspondence and intercultural communication
Business English is the language you use to sound clear, polite, and professional—especially when the stakes are high. Examples include phrases like:
1. “Could you clarify what you mean by…?”
2. Let’s align on next steps and deadlines.”
3. “I’d like to propose an alternative approach.”
In class, you practice these inside realistic scenarios (not just memorizing lines).
Lingoda’s Business English lessons focus on real workplace situations — like scheduling and time management, meeting language, negotiation, teamwork, and handling feedback — plus broader career topics like interviews and professional communication. You can also follow the structured curriculum by level (up to B2) or pick the classes you want.
