Sample · Cohort with a mentor

English: from “Travel” to talking about work and plans

A cohort: conversation clubs on the map, classes with a master and language exchange — together with others at the same step.

← All paths

Sample A sample shows how a path works. You can’t sign up for it: you sign up for classes with the masters on the map.

A path card is a reference to masters’ classes on the map, not a curriculum: the school sets no outcomes, does not check them and issues nothing.

Conversation club
Once a week — live conversation in a group at your step.

Class with a master
Grammar and pronunciation — where the club keeps hitting the same wall.
Language exchange
Your Russian for someone’s English: a skill swap on AbsoLive.
abso.live/activities/skill-swap (opens in a new tab)
Open conversation
Whenever you want: ten minutes about your work and plans in front of the group. Afterwards — a review: what was clear, what to ask about. This is not a test.

Safety

A2 and B1 on the ladder are AbsoLive’s reference points. The school does not test or confirm language levels.

In every path and programme the school publishes

Entry step and goal — on the AbsoLive 0–10 ladder
Stages: which classes, what practice between them, where the open class is
A master or mentor with a name and a page on AbsoLive
Safety: what to ask before starting, where the activity area’s limits lie
Terms for every class: a price or “free”, cancellation and refund — before sign-up; no non-refundable payments and no cancellation penalties
Length — “an estimate” or “a sample”, not a promise
For body and movement — the line “with health conditions or pregnancy — check with a doctor”

What is known about the leader

There are no “verified” masters here. There is what you can see, and what the leader confirms themselves.

Page on AbsoLive: fill in
Their own classes on the map: fill in
What the leader confirms about their own training: fill in
Who sells each class and on what terms — on the class page
A master’s AbsoLive page may show ★ and a “Verified master” badge — these are AbsoLive’s marks. The school does not award them and does not rely on them.

The 0–10 ladder · English

From · step 3: Travel — Level A2: I order coffee, ask the way and understand the answer.
To · step 4: Conversation — Level B1: I talk about work and plans and follow unhurried speech.

The 0–10 ladder

0 · Hello My English is "hello", "okay" and the chorus of my favourite song.
1 · First lesson First lesson: I introduce myself and name my city and my job in English.
2 · Present Simple I build simple sentences and remember the -s: he works, she lives.
3 · Travel Level A2: I order coffee, ask the way and understand the answer.
4 · Conversation Level B1: I talk about work and plans and follow unhurried speech.
5 · Series I watch series in the original with English subtitles and catch the idioms.
6 · Freedom Level B2: I argue, joke and follow native speakers in live conversation.
7 · C1 Advanced I pass Cambridge C1 Advanced and work in English every day.
8 · Shakespeare I pass C2 Proficiency and catch Shakespeare’s wordplay, not just the plot.
9 · Teacher I teach English and translate texts that others cannot handle.
10 · Legend I write in English like Joseph Conrad — and my books become classics.

The steps come from the AbsoLive ladder. On abso.live you can mark your step with the “I’m here” button — once signed in; only you see the mark. The reckoning is your own, no tests. The school runs no courses or exams based on the ladder’s lines and awards no titles — those belong to others.
