    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I skill up on English in Santa Clara, CA and what are the possibilities in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with recorded courses, you have several primary options for learning English interactively in Santa Clara, CA. 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 other resource can be local commercial language academies that charge less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, not-for-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Finally, you can opt for a private English tutor in Santa Clara, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Santa Clara, CA and online English tutors.

    🎟 Is it affordable 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 ten (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the cost of about 50 lesson hours each semester. Language schools and individual English tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $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 country of residence, positive reviews and student demand. Real student rating 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 prove your profeciency level. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and exams, so research those 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 add-ons they make available (like instruction for beginners, etc.) For more flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are 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. As proven by others before, 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 expressions, have simple conversations, socialize in about a year. Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid 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 learn 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 necessitate at least 600 hours of practice. The actual range of time can differ a lot depending on your already acquired level of English or proficiency in other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, try typing using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in English out loud. If it's more difficult than you had imagined you can also take conversational English classes online.

    🤳 Can I pick my own English teacher?

    In colleges and universities, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, certainly! 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 usually run classes twice a week 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.
