    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I skill up on English in Sunnyvale, CA and what does it take in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using special programs, you have a few key opportunities for learning English interactively in Sunnyvale, 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 a little more affordable.) Your 2nd possibility can be local specialized language academies that are cheaper 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 find a private English tutor in Sunnyvale, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Sunnyvale, CA and online English tutors.

    🎟 How expensive is it 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 as 1/10th of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the cost of fifty or so instruction hours each semester. Language schools and private English tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the most budget-friendly English tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 14 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, positive reviews and student demand. 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 demonstrate proof of your current level. Predetermined curriculum classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework load and graded tasks, so research all such requirements 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 classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.

    🔥 Why is English not easy and are there ways to learn it faster?

    Formal 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 everyday expressions, express yourself, do most everyday tasks in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid and enjoyable 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 necessitate at least 600 hours of practice. The required duration of time can differ by a lot depending on your available 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 news and movies, write 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 tutor?

    In language centers, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, always! The largest selection of pre-screened English tutors with extensive profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces 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 typically give 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.
