Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
🌆 How can I master English in Devon and what are my options in terms of commitment?
Besides self-study using special programs, you have four main possibilities for learning English interactively in Devon. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, research centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are cheaper.) Your 2nd resource can be local specialized language academies that cost less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, international learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Last, you can look for a private English tutor in Devon. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Devon and online English tutors.
🎟 How expensive is it to learn English and how much should English tutors ask?
For university and college courses you can estimate English course cost as one-tenth of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the overall charge for 1/2 of a hundred instruction hours each semester. Language centers and independent English tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the better priced English tutors can be found online, with prices on LearnZone averaging 14 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, ratings and specialization.

📚 What level of English do I need to sign up for a course?
When considering college and learning center classes be prepared to show a language test profeciency score or take an entrance test to determine your level. All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework volume and testing, so research all such requirements 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 intermediate level practice, advanced students etc.) For more flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.
🔥 Why is English so difficult and are there ways to learn it faster?
One-size-fits-all 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 several hours a week you will be able to understand many words, have simple conversations, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a quick and fun way of acquiring the basic knowledge of English. After attaining basic skills, online marketplaces like LearnZone have English tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced students.
🤷 How long does it take to master 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 require at least 600 hours of practice. The length of time can differ quite a bit depending on your current level of English or proficiency in other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, write using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible ways to think and speak in English out loud. If it's more difficult than you had imagined you can also take conversational English classes online.
🤳 What are my options when choosing the English coach?
In learning centers, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, always! The largest selection of approved English tutors with full profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like LearnZone.
🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?
Colleges usually schedule classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools offer shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
