English B1 — narrative framing
B1 is intermediate: you can tell a story, give an opinion, and keep a conversation going — then Anya marks tense and register.
Who B1 English is for
You can handle past simple and plans. You still mix present perfect and past, and freeze on “what do you think?”. B1 is that stretch.
What you work on in English B1
Present perfect vs past simple; first and second conditionals; linking; giving opinions; work and study; advice; telling a story with a point.
Writing and speaking evals at this tier care about whether the tense matches the time you meant.
How this English floor runs
Thirty modules. Each is three sessions plus a roundup. You see British English, analyse it, then write or speak that floor — speaking sits inside the lesson, not in a side chat.
Pass the tier exam (no energy cost) to open the next CEFR gate. If this is the wrong floor, onboarding can send you to a placement exam. The skill tree adds grammar, speaking, writing, and listening drills after each roundup.
