Moving to a new country is one of the most exciting and stressful things you will ever do, especially if it is for your career. English for Living Abroad will prepare you for your life in a new country.

This is a practical, 32-lesson strategic toolkit designed to help you survive and thrive during an international relocation. Whether you are moving for a corporate transfer, a creative project, or a new life, this course focuses on the "real-world" English you need to get things done and build your network in your new community.

Is this course for you?

If you are preparing to transfer, study or live overseas and need more than just a phrasebook, this program is for you. We focus on Global Mobility —what you need to move to a new country. This course is level-agnostic, meaning your teacher will adapt the complexity to your skills, focusing on functional results over textbook perfection. Build your confidence before you go, and then let us help you navigate your new life after you land.

What you will learn

The course is divided into six high-impact phases that follow the timeline of a real move:

• Phase 0: Before you Go – Research local taxes, laws, and digital "super-apps" before you land.
• Phase 1: The First 48 Hours – Navigate the airport, talk about visas, and get your local ID and SIM card.
• Phase 2: The Hunt for Home – Read rental contracts, negotiate with landlords, and set up utilities.
• Phase 3: Daily Mechanics – Master public transport etiquette, banking, and grocery shopping.
• Phase 4: Building a Tribe – Learn how to make local friends and navigate social invitations.
• Phase 5: Professional Fluency – Understand workplace politics, "reading the air," and local humor.
• Phase 6: Crisis & Resilience – Prepare for medical emergencies, legal issues, and the inevitable culture shock.

Expected outcomes

By the end of this 32-lesson program, you will:

1. Navigate bureaucracy with confidence: You will know how to use polite language to deal with tax offices, immigration, and banks without being overcharged or ignored.
2. Speak "global English": You will master English as a Lingua Franca (ELF), learning to communicate clearly with both native and non-native speakers by simplifying complex ideas.
3. Shorten your adjustment period: By understanding the "U-Curve" of culture shock, you will have the mental tools to handle frustration and reach the "settled in" phase faster.
4. Secure your legal rights: You will be able to explain your visa status and report incidents to authorities or medical professionals with 100% factual precision.
5. Build a professional network: You will have a polished "elevator pitch" and the small-talk skills needed to integrate into your new office culture immediately.
