Who it is for

  • Veterinarians and veterinary dentists who talk to colleagues, owners or partners in English.
  • Vets preparing to work, intern or study abroad.
  • Vets who read international papers and guidelines, or present at conferences.

The track grew out of lessons with a veterinary dentist, so dentistry is covered in depth; the other units fit any small-animal practice. Lessons are explained in Uzbek or Russian when you need it.

How the lessons work

  • About 80 tasks per unit on the platform: listening to clinic dialogues, reading, vocabulary and grammar, all marked as you go.
  • The same patients return from unit to unit, so you follow a case from the first visit to the referral.
  • Writing such as notes, emails to owners and referral letters is checked by the teacher, with comments in your text.
  • Speaking is with the teacher, who plays owners and colleagues.
  • Every new word goes into the word trainer, which brings it back after 1, 3, 7, 16, 35, 90 and 180 days.
