English classes at Klick — how they work
Six levels, one month each, taught three times a week at Mexico and CMC Michael. You speak from the first class, and the explanations start in Amharic so beginners are never lost. Every level ends with a filmed 60-second showcase, which is proof you can hold in your hand.
Every level is one month: three sessions a week, two hours each, about 24 hours of class. You pay ETB 5,000 per level, level by level, and you decide each month whether to carry on. Classes run at both campuses, Mexico (Sengatera Building, 19th floor) and CMC Michael (11th floor), and a new class starts every two weeks.
Who it’s for
- Job seekers and graduates — who need English for the interview, not for an exam paper
- Office, hotel and shop staff — who deal with customers and guests in English every day
- University students — who read and present in English and want to stop translating in their heads
- Creators and freelancers — pitching clients abroad, writing captions, taking calls
- Anyone planning to study or work abroad — who needs a solid base before an exam course
Not sure where you are? Take the free placement test: six questions, about two minutes, and it tells you which level to start at. You can take it in person at either campus instead. Complete beginners skip it and start at Level 1. Register online in two minutes.
What you will learn
The 6 levels — one month each
| Level | Focus | What you can do at the end |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 · Foundation | Sounds, greetings, numbers, the present tense | Introduce yourself, ask and answer simple questions, talk about your day |
| Level 2 · Elementary | Shops, transport, directions, work basics | Hold a short conversation with a stranger and ask for what you need — roughly CEFR A1 |
| Level 3 · Pre-Intermediate | Past and future, joining sentences, storytelling | Tell someone what happened last week and what you plan next |
| Level 4 · Intermediate | Phone calls, emails, interviews, describing work | Take a work call, write a short email, answer interview questions — roughly CEFR A2 |
| Level 5 · Upper-Intermediate | Opinions, disagreement, meetings, listening speed | Give an opinion, disagree politely, follow a meeting and take part |
| Level 6 · Fluency & Presenting | Presenting, pronunciation clinic, fluency drills | Present to a room and speak for a minute without stopping — heading toward CEFR B1 |
One level is one month. Nobody becomes fluent in a month, and we will not tell you otherwise — a full CEFR or HSK band takes two or three levels. What one month buys you is the list above, and the confidence to use it.

Class Schedules
All shifts meet 3 times per week for 2-hour sessions. Times are Ethiopian (local) time, with the international time beside each.
What you leave with
- Speak English in the situations you actually meet: work, customers, interviews, travel
- Take a phone call in English without rehearsing it first
- Write a short professional email and a message to a client
- Answer the standard interview questions with a structured answer
- Present your work to a room, with your pronunciation worked on directly
- Walk into an IELTS or exam-prep course on a real foundation instead of a guess
And a recording. Klick is a film school, so every level ends with a filmed showcase: 60 seconds of you using the language, recorded at the start of the level and again at the end. It is the one kind of proof a certificate cannot give you.
Practise free before you enrol
There is a free drill area on this site — no signup, nothing to pay — with flashcards, dictation, sentence building and a speaking drill that listens to you and scores your pronunciation word by word. Meanings are in Amharic, and it covers roughly the ground of levels 1 and 2.
It is an honest way to find out whether you enjoy studying English before you pay for a month of it, and a way to hold what you have between classes. It is not a replacement for the class: no drill can correct the sentence you invented or answer the question you did not know how to ask.
Frequently Asked Questions
English is the language Addis Ababa hires in, and most people here have studied it for years without ever being asked to speak. That is the gap this course closes: six levels of practice, in Amharic where it helps, with a recording at the end of each month that shows what changed.
