After successful completion of the advanced-level courses, students will be able to communicate both orally and in written form on various matters that have familiar themes. With the help of a dictionary, students will be able to read texts comparable to standard newspaper language without much difficulty.

The general aim of these studies is to give students a positive attitude both to their language studies and to themselves as language learners, enabling them to develop their language skills further.
