New courses: Lawyer's English Language, and International Legal English

By Di on Ιανουάριος 5 2022

We are excited to announce the addition of two new courses to learn English for law.

Legal English is very different from general English. The vocabulary is often centuries old and only used in legal settings today. Even the grammar can be different. If you are a lawyer or law student working in English, we now have two courses that will give you the language you need:

New course: Email English

By Di on Ιανουάριος 1 2022

The English Farm is pleased to announce the addition of another new coursebook: Email English.

This course is designed to improve email-writing skills. It goes through the process and structure of emails, the language and vocabulary of emails, and how to be more effective when writing them. There is also a unit on language used in social media.

A wide range of situations and topics are included, both personal and professional. If you need to write emails in English, this is the course for you!

Best regards,

New teachers

We've brought on two dozen more new teachers from around the world to serve our growing roster of students. I believe we now have teachers on every continent except Antarctica. Every one of our carefully selected staff is experienced and fully trained so that we can provide the best service possible. I'm proud to be a member of this team.

Price increase from April 1st, 2021

By Matthew on Μάρτιος 24 2021

Over the past 4 years, The English Farm has maintained consistent pricing. However, there are significant costs to hiring the best teachers and creating the best online learning space. 

Therefore, The English Farm will increase prices from April 1st. 

We are investing in a number of exciting developments. We are updating our site to be faster and easier to use, producing tools to help you learn better, introducing new courses and learning exercises, and improving training for our teachers. 

More new teachers coming soon

By Matthew on Μάρτιος 10 2021

Hi everyone,

Thanks for using The English Farm. We know that lessons are difficult to find these days, especially at short notice. We recommend that you do your best to book ahead of time where you can, and if you're unable to make a lesson, please cancel as soon as possible to free up the slot for someone else. We have also asked our teachers to add as many slots as they can to meet the demand.

Happy February to you all! In the northern hemisphere, February is the month when you start to notice the sun coming back to the land. It's no longer dark at 3–4pm. I'm guessing that in the southern hemisphere, you're beginning to feel fall in the air. A month of transition no matter where you live, including here at The English Farm.
