    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I skill up on English in Timaru and what are my options in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with apps, you have 4 primary possibilities for learning English interactively in Timaru. 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 option can be local specialized 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. Last, you can look for a private English tutor in Timaru. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Timaru and online English tutors.

    🎟 Is it cheap to learn English and what do English tutors charge?

    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 overall charge for about 50 lesson hours each semester. Language academies and independent English tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the more affordable English tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 14 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor hometown, experience 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 to show a language test profeciency score or take an entrance test to determine your level. Predetermined curriculum classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and exams, 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 expertise they make available (like teaching children or teens, etc.) For maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.

    🔥 Why is English so hard 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 5 hours a week you will be able to understand common phrases, be understood when you talk, do most everyday tasks 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 mastering 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 get better at speaking 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 necessitate at least 600 hours of dedication. The required duration of time can differ by a lot depending on your current level of English or familiarity with 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 TV, write using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible 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 tutor?

    In language learning academies, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, certainly! The largest selection of pre-screened English tutors with detailed profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.

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

    Colleges typically structure classes two times weekly over a semester (75-day period). Language schools as a rule make available shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
