Get a level-up?

Question

Hi,Is this sentence OK?I want to move to a different branch once I get a level-up.We're talking here about a language school.

Philip · Accepted Answer

level-up sounds to me like it's a more advanced class.

Perfect Stranger · Answer

Indeed it is. So... the sentence makes sense to you, doesn't it?

Clive · Answer

Hi,
Most people wouldn't say 'branch', and 'level-up' is wrong.

Say eg I want to move to a different school once I get promoted.

Hi,

1. What if it's the same school but just a different branch in a different part of the city?
I suppose you could speak of 'a different branch of this school', but the word 'branch' still sounds a little odd to me.
You'd be more likely to hear
eg I want to stay with name of school company, but I want go to their school in name of city area.

It all depends on how naturally you want to speak.

2. Can promoted be used when we talk students who just get to a higher level in their English course? Yes. 'Get promoted' is the common term for moving up to another level, in any subject.

Thanks for a detailed explanation Clive.

If I can't use the word branch then... well, here's the sentence again, can you tell me if it's better?

I want to move to the second NDI's school here in Shanghai.

Clive · Answer

Hi,

That's better.
It sounds like there are only two NDI schools in Shanghai. If so, I suggest
I want to move to NDI's other school ( here in Shanghai ).
