Quality of voice was very bad. I was hearing strange voices and that was for not from my tutor. We tried reconnected a few times, but it did not helped. We lost about half of the lesson. How can I get back my money for that half of lesson?

I've had the pleasure of taking several classes with her, and I must say, she's an incredibly patient and delightful tutor. One thing that really stands out is her punctuality, which is quite refreshing especially in today's busy world where finding time can be a challenge.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

🌆 How do I skill up on English in Cologne and is possible to go light in terms of commitment?

Besides self-study using special programs, you have several main opportunities for learning English interactively in Cologne. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, check centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are less pricey.) Your second spource can be local specialized language academies that are cheaper and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, international learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Fourth, you can look for a private English tutor in Cologne. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Cologne and online English tutors.

🎟 Is it affordable to learn English and what are the ballpark lesson costs for English tutors?

For university and college courses you can estimate English course cost by dividing annual tuition by ten (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the rate for 45-48 class hours each semester. Language centers and independent English tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the most budget-friendly English tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 14 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor country of residence, ratings and popularity. Average reviews for English lessons on Preply is 4.9 out of 5 stars.

📚 How much English do I need to know 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. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework volume and graded tasks, so research each program in advance. With personal English tutors you can read reviews and get a good idea for whom the tutor is effective with and which other specializations they make available (like classes for adults, etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.

🔥 Why is English so difficult and are there ways to learn it the easy way?

One-size-fits-all language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn English. As proven by others before, 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 everyday sentences, speak on some level, do most everyday tasks in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and enjoyable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of English. After acquiring basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have English tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced level practitioners.

🤷 How long does it take to achieve a good level of English?

Some people brag about their natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in English will demand at least 600 hours of dedication. The actual range of time can differ significantly depending on your existing level of English or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch TV, write using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try other 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.

🤳 What are my options when choosing the English teacher?

In colleges and universities, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of pre-screened English tutors with video profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.

🗓 What time of day and on which days are classes available?

Colleges usually schedule classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools typically offer shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, allows the flexibility to schedule lessons around your commitments, on weekdays and/or weekends.
