    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How to learn English in Waterloo and is possible to go light in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using mobile applications, you have a few principal options for learning English interactively in Waterloo. 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 second spource can be local commercial language academies that cost less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, government-supported learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Fourth, you can look for a private English tutor in Waterloo. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Waterloo 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 10 (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the cost of 45-48 course hours each semester. Language schools and independent English tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the more affordable English tutors can be found online, with rates on Preply averaging 14 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, experience and student demand. Average reviews 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. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and graded tasks, so research all such requirements in advance. With personal English tutors you can read real feedback for whom the tutor is effective with and which other specializations they make available (like instruction for beginners, etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.

    🔥 Why is English so difficult 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. As proven by others before, 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 many words, be understood when you talk, shop and place orders in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid 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 learners.

    🤷 How long does it take to learn 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 require at least 600 hours of study. The amount of time can differ a lot depending on your already acquired level of English or knowledge of other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading 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 more 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.

    🤳 Can I choose my own English instructor?

    In learning centers, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, certainly! The largest selection of approved English tutors with video profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.

    🗓 What time of day and on which days are classes available?

    Colleges as a rule offer classes two times weekly over a semester (75-day period). Language schools usually make available shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can choose your own lesson frequency and time, on weekdays and/or weekends.
