Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

🌆 How can I master English in Istanbul and what are the possibilities in terms of commitment?

Besides self-study using apps, you have 4 key choices for learning English interactively in Istanbul. 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 better priced and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, government-supported learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Last, you can choose a private English tutor in Istanbul. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Istanbul and online English tutors.

🎟 Is it expensive 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 one-tenth of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the overall charge for about 50 lesson hours each semester. Language schools and private English tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $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 location, positive reviews and student demand. Average reviews for English lessons on Preply is 4.9 out of 5 stars.

📚 How much English do I need to know to sign up for a course?

When considering college and learning center classes be prepared demonstrate proof of your current level. All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework load and graded tasks, 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 classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from many teaching online.

🔥 Why is English not easy and are there ways to learn it in a better way?

Formal language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn English. According to experts, you can gain basic English fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback five hours a week you will be able to understand common words, speak on some level, do most everyday tasks in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a quick and affordable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of English. After gaining 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 achieve a good level of 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 take at least 600 hours of dedication. The length of time can differ by a lot depending on your existing level of English or knowledge of 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 television, write by hand and online using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in English out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational English classes online.

🤳 How many possibilities do I choose among when I select the right English coach?

In language learning academies, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of tested English tutors with detailed profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.

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

Colleges typically run classes two times weekly over a semester (75-day period). Language schools typically offer shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, allows the flexibility to schedule lessons around your commitments, on weekdays and/or weekends.
