    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How to learn English in San Luis Obispo, CA and what does it take in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with mobile applications, you have four key choices for learning English interactively in San Luis Obispo, CA. 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 a little more affordable.) Your 2nd resource can be local private language academies that cost less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, government-supported learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. 4th and last, you can find a private English tutor in San Luis Obispo, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local San Luis Obispo, CA 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 by dividing annual tuition by 10 (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the price of about 50 course hours each semester. Language schools and individual English tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the more affordable English tutors can be found online, with prices on Preply averaging 14 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor location, availability and specialization. Customer review 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 pass a few pre-requisites. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and exams, so research those 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 instruction for beginners, etc.) For maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of 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. In reality, 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 common words, express yourself, do most everyday tasks in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a quick and affordable 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 students.

    🤷 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 take at least 600 hours of practice. The actual range of time can differ significantly depending on your already acquired level of English or familiarity with 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, start a journal or write posts and comments 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 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 select few). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of verified English tutors with extensive profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.

    🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?

    Colleges typically structure classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools as a rule have shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can take as few as one lesson a year, as many as several a day - and as many (or as few) as you want during any time of day, on weekdays and/or weekends.
