Learning online or attending classes? There are many ways of learning English nowadays. Many students all over the world start learning English at primary schools as a part of their curriculum, e.g. in Russia students begin studying English at the second grade. Those who don’t have such opportunity try to learn it by themselves with the help of various text-books, videos, apps and so on. Somebody prefers to attend English schools where they study face-to-face with teachers. Others choose online courses. What way is better? I’ve tried these both ways. Some years ago I visited some English courses at different schools. I should say that some of them were disappointing. I was able to know almost nothing useful. But one course was really wonderful! It helped me a lot. The teachers managed to organize involving group work and inspiring and friendly atmosphere. The schedule was convenient too. So, my English was improving rapidly and my speaking skills became even better than I expected. Now I go on learning English with teachers online here on Italki. As for advantages of this way I can mention some things: cheaper price, convenient schedule, wide range of teachers (you can choose a teacher for different purposes: for training conversational speech, improving grammar or preparing for an interview or an exam). What way of studying languages do you prefer? It would be nice if you will share your opinion on comments:)
