'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and graded tasks, so research the details in advance. With personal English tutors you can read real feedback for whom the tutor is effective with and which other add-ons they make available (like instruction for beginners, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.
🔥 Why is English so hard and are there ways to learn it the easy way?
Formal language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn English. Realistically, you can gain basic English fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback a few hours a week you will be able to understand many expressions, be understood when you talk, shop and place orders in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and easy way of acquiring the basic knowledge of English. After gaining basic skills, online marketplaces like LearnZone have English tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced learners.
🤷 How long does it take to learn English?
Some people have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in English will necessitate at least 600 hours of dedication. The length of time can differ by a lot depending on your already acquired level of English or familiarity with other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in English out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational English classes online.

In learning centers, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, of course! The largest selection of pre-screened English tutors with video profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning platforms like LearnZone.
