English course in or around Leeds/Harrogate/York
Hallo,
I'm looking for an English course around Harrogate (which probably means Leeds or York) to improve my English (especially regarding pronounciation and grammar). Even though I lived for two years in London before (I'm German), I never managed to start looking around for a course, so now I want to try it here. Unfortunately, the most EFL courses only cover basic English.
Has anyone any recommendations? Or any other way to improve my English?
TIA, Gunter

On what kind of subjects do A-Level/O-Level/GCSE-courses focus? Do they focus mainly on literature or more on style, grammar, pronounciation etc?

There is no such thing as "proper" English in the same way as there is "proper" German with official publications defining what it is and how German should be written, pun

I see, what I meant was what is described as RP English, which is probably the same as what is called 'Hochdeutsch' in German.
