    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How can I master English in Portsmouth and is possible to go light in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with recorded courses, you have a few primary options for learning English interactively in Portsmouth. 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 better priced.) Your other possibility can be local commercial language academies that are better priced and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, not-for-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Finally, you can look for a private English tutor in Portsmouth. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Portsmouth and online English tutors.

    🎟 Is it expensive to learn English and how much should English tutors ask?

    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 overall charge for about 50 class hours each semester. Language academies and individual 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, availability and popularity. Real student rating average 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 prove your profeciency level. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework volume and exams, 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 add-ons they make available (like classes for adults, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.

    🔥 Why is English so hard and are there ways to learn it faster?

    Standardized language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn English. Realistically, 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 everyday phrases, speak on some level, shop and place orders in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready 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 students.

    🤷 How long does it take to master English?

    Some people 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 practice. The actual range of time can differ significantly depending on your already acquired level of English or proficiency in other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, write using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try additional 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.

    🤳 What are my options when choosing the English teacher?

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

    🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?

    Colleges as a rule structure classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools usually give 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.
