    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How to learn English in Chennai and what does it take in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using recorded courses, you have a few principal possibilities for learning English interactively in Chennai. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, ask about the centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are less pricey.) Your 2nd spource can be local commercial language academies that cost less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, not-for-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Last, you can choose a private English tutor in Chennai. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Chennai and online English tutors.

    🎟 Is it cheap to learn English and how much should English tutors ask?

    For university and college courses you can estimate English course cost as 1/10th of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the overall charge for 45-48 instruction hours each semester. Language academies and independent English tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the less pricey English tutors can be found online, with rates on Preply averaging 14 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor location, availability and specialization. Real student rating average 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 prove your profeciency level. Predetermined curriculum classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and testing, so research the details 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 instruction for beginners, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.

    🔥 Why is English not easy 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. In reality, you can gain basic English fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback 5 hours a week you will be able to understand everyday words, have simple conversations, do most everyday tasks in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and easy way of acquiring the basic knowledge of English. After gaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have English tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced learners.

    🤷 How long does it take to master English?

    Some people seem to have a 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 practice. The amount of time can differ a lot depending on your current level of English or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch TV, try typing using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try additional 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.

    🤳 Can I pick my own English teacher?

    In learning centers, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, certainly! The largest selection of approved English tutors with detailed profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.

    🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?

    Colleges run classes twice a week over a semester (75-day period). Language schools usually give 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.
