    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I improve my English in Grand Rapids, MI and is possible to go light in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with apps, you have several main opportunities for learning English interactively in Grand Rapids, MI. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, read about centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are less pricey.) Your 2nd option can be local for-profit language academies that charge less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, government-supported learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Last, you can look for a private English tutor in Grand Rapids, MI. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Grand Rapids, MI and online English tutors.

    🎟 Is it expensive to learn English and what does a lesson with a tutor of English cost?

    For university and college courses you can estimate English course cost by dividing annual tuition by 10 (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the price of 1/2 of a hundred class hours each semester. Language academies and individual English tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the better priced English tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 14 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor location, experience and languages the tutor can teach in. Customer review average for English lessons on Preply is 4.9 out of 5 stars.

    📚 What are the requirements for English language skill level to sign up for a course?

    When considering college and learning center classes be prepared demonstrate proof of your current level. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework load and exams, so research the details in advance. With personal English tutors you can find reviews for whom the tutor is effective with and which other expertise they make available (like classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.

    🔥 Why is English so hard 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 several hours a week you will be able to understand many expressions, speak on some level, shop and place orders in about a year. Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a quick and affordable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of English. After attaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have English tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced speakers.

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

    Some people just 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 active use. The length of time can differ a lot depending on your available level of English or proficiency in other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch television, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in English out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational English classes online.

    🤳 What are my options when choosing the English teacher?

    In colleges and universities, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, of course! The largest selection of tested English tutors with extensive profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.

    🗓 Will I be able to fit lessons in my busy schedule?

    Colleges typically schedule classes twice a week over a semester (75-day period). Language schools typically have 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.
