    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How to learn English in Buffalo, NY and what are my options in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using recorded courses, you have 4 key choices for learning English interactively in Buffalo, NY. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, check centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are a little more affordable.) Your other option can be local for-profit language academies that charge less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, non-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Fourth, you can find a private English tutor in Buffalo, NY. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Buffalo, NY and online English tutors.

    🎟 How expensive is it to learn English and what are the ballpark lesson costs for English tutors?

    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 cost of 1/2 of a hundred instruction hours each semester. Language centers and independent English tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the most budget-friendly English tutors can be found online, with prices on Preply averaging 14 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor country of residence, availability and languages the tutor can teach in. Average student satisfaction for English lessons on Preply is 4.91 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 pass a few pre-requisites. All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and graded tasks, so research those 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 teaching children or teens, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are 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. 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, socialize 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 acquiring 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 learn 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 require at least 600 hours of practice. 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 recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch television, write by hand and online 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 pick my own English coach?

    In language centers, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, of course! The largest selection of tested English tutors with full profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.

    🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?

    Colleges as a rule schedule classes twice a week over a semester (75-day period). Language schools offer 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.
