    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How to learn English in Rapid City, SD and what does it take in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with recorded courses, you have 4 principal choices for learning English interactively in Rapid City, SD. 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 better priced.) Your second resource can be local for-profit language academies that charge less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, international learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Finally, you can choose a private English tutor in Rapid City, SD. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Rapid City, SD 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 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 lesson hours each semester. Language academies and independent English tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the more affordable English tutors can be found online, with costs on Preply averaging 14 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor location, experience and languages the tutor can teach in. Real student rating average for English lessons on Preply is 4.9 out of 5 stars.

    📚 What level of English do I need to sign up for a course?

    When considering college and learning center classes be prepared demonstrate proof of your current level. All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework volume and testing, 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 specializations they make available (like classes for adults, etc.) For maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.

    🔥 Why is English not easy and are there ways to learn it in a better way?

    One-size-fits-all language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn English. According to experts, 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 most expressions, have simple conversations, socialize in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and affordable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of English. After mastering 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 get better at speaking 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 demand at least 600 hours of study. The amount of time can differ quite a bit depending on your already acquired level of English or familiarity with other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch TV, 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 not easy you can also take conversational English classes online.

    🤳 Can I choose my own English instructor?

    In language centers, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of tested English tutors with extensive profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.

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

    Colleges as a rule structure classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools as a rule make available shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can choose your own lesson frequency and time, on weekdays and/or weekends.
