🔥 Why is English so challenging and are there ways to learn it the easy way?

🤷 How long does it take to get better at speaking English?
Some people brag about their 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 length of time can differ significantly depending on your existing level of English or proficiency in other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, try typing 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 a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational English classes online.

Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
