If you're familiar with the basics and aiming to pass the YKI test in late 2025 and early 2026, this course is designed for you. We cover all sections of the exam, with a particular focus on writing and speaking—the most challenging areas.
Each week consists of 4 Zoom lessons:
- Monday & Wednesday: Cristian will provide feedback and work with you on grammar structures in writing and reading essays.
- Tuesday & Thursday: Katja will guide you through speaking and listening exercises.
We have a comprehensive database of YKI test assignments from the past 5 years, which we use for practice. Both teachers specialize in YKI preparation, ensuring you get expert guidance.
You’ll also have homework assignments for reading and writing, which will be reviewed in class. During the lessons, your teacher will provide feedback, offer comments on your work, and explain any relevant grammar points.
