Language School - Favtoma Group

What we teach

Five languages. One standard.

Every language is taught against its published international framework — CEFR for German, Spanish and French, HSK 3.0 for Mandarin, and IELTS band targets for English. That matters: a certificate tied to a recognised framework is the one an embassy or admissions office will accept. Expand any language for its full level ladder and per-level fees.

CEFR A1–C2 5 levels · 460 hrs total
