Common challenges: False cognates and system differences are dense — German Gymnasium is grammar school / secondary school (not gymnasium). UK college (between school and university, or university component) vs US college (university). Faculty in UK means academic department; in US means academic staff. UK grades (A to G) vs US grades* (A to F).
For: Adult and teenage learners (14+) at CEFR B1, in intermediate classes, 1:1 lessons, or self-study.
