Why prepare for the IELTS at Funtalk

The IELTS is an international certificate that proves your command of English with a score from 1 to 9. It can help you get into universities, apply for certain visas, advance professionally or meet an institution’s language requirements.

Unlike other exams, you can’t pass or fail the IELTS. Each candidate gets an overall score and an individual score in Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. That’s why good preparation should start from a clear goal and strategically work on the areas that most affect the result.

At FunTalk we start by assessing your level and the score you need. From there, we design a personalized preparation plan with guided practice, corrections, mock exams and specific strategies for each section.

Classes are held in small groups of 4 to 9 students. This lets you practice Speaking constantly, get detailed Writing corrections and have real follow-up on your progress until exam day.

All about IELTS preparation

What level do I need to start preparing for the IELTS?
You don't need to know your exact level before starting. At FunTalk we do an initial assessment to identify your starting point, find out the score you need and recommend the most suitable preparation plan.
What's the difference between IELTS Academic and General Training?
IELTS Academic is mainly for people who want to go to university or enter certain regulated professions. IELTS General Training is usually used for immigration, work experience or non-university training.

Listening and Speaking are the same in both versions. The main differences are in Reading and Writing.
Can you pass or fail the IELTS?
You can't pass or fail the IELTS. You'll get an overall score from 1 to 9 and an individual score for Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking.

Each university, company or organization sets the minimum score required for its programs.
Which parts of the IELTS do you work on during the course?
We work on Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. We also practice time management, question types, answer structure and the strategies needed to tackle each section.

We pay special attention to Writing and Speaking, where personalized correction is especially important.
How long does it take to prepare for the IELTS?
It depends on your starting level, the score you need, the exam date and the hours you can dedicate each week.

After the initial assessment we can recommend the most suitable option and set a realistic plan.
How many people are in each group?
Groups have a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 9 students. This lets you practice Speaking often, get personalized corrections and adapt the pace to the group's needs.
Are the IELTS course teachers native speakers?
The course is taught by native or bilingual teachers, qualified and experienced in teaching English and preparing official exams.
What IELTS preparation options does FunTalk offer?
You can choose one 2-hour session a week, two sessions a week totaling 3 hours, or a 6-hour-a-week intensive course.

The best option depends on your level, availability, target score and planned exam date.
How much does the IELTS preparation course cost?
The 2-hour weekly option costs €252 per term or €718 per year. The 3-hour option costs €335 per term or €955 per year.

The 6-hour weekly intensive course costs €647 per term.
How will I know when I'm ready to take the IELTS?
During the course we do timed exercises, reviews and mock exams. Your teachers will analyze your results in all four parts and advise you on when you're ready to reach your target score.
