Which leaves you with a decision to make \u2013 is it best to wait until things get back to normal or to take the plunge and start learning online? With new technology and a great teacher, we think learning online can be as effective as face to face learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recognise your strengths and weaknesses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you decide whether to enrol in live classes or a self-study course, ask yourself some serious questions. Do you need external motivation? Do you like to have structure in your life and see results? The fact is, if you\u2019re the sort of person who runs 5km and does 50 push-ups before breakfast, you may be disciplined enough to self-study. If not, think about getting a private teacher, the language equivalent of a personal trainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1008\" height=\"756\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linguaholidays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Photo-01-03-2020-11-01-08-Copy-1.jpg\" alt=\"Greenwich half marathon\" class=\"wp-image-6324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linguaholidays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Photo-01-03-2020-11-01-08-Copy-1.jpg 1008w, https:\/\/www.linguaholidays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Photo-01-03-2020-11-01-08-Copy-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.linguaholidays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Photo-01-03-2020-11-01-08-Copy-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.linguaholidays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Photo-01-03-2020-11-01-08-Copy-1-375x280.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.linguaholidays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Photo-01-03-2020-11-01-08-Copy-1-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.linguaholidays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Photo-01-03-2020-11-01-08-Copy-1-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.linguaholidays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Photo-01-03-2020-11-01-08-Copy-1-440x330.jpg 440w, https:\/\/www.linguaholidays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Photo-01-03-2020-11-01-08-Copy-1-120x90.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1008px) 100vw, 1008px\" \/><figcaption>Do you need a &#8216;personal trainer&#8217; to reach your goals?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Set goals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You also need to think carefully about what you want to achieve. Are you learning English to help you in your career or studies? Or perhaps you recently retired and now have more time on your hands. Whatever your reasons, it\u2019s important to think about your ultimate goal and to decide how much time you want to spend studying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ask for feedback<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A big advantage to live lessons is that you can regularly check how you\u2019re getting on by asking for feedback. You may have concerns that you\u2019re not progressing fast enough, or that you need to focus more on your conversation skills. Either way, by talking it through, you can continually assess your progress and adjust your programme if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Interests and themes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not just children who learn best when they\u2019re absorbed in what they\u2019re doing! Whether you love food or fashion, let your teacher know about your interests so they can theme lessons and make them more meaningful \u2013 and memorable \u2013 for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"778\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linguaholidays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Photo-21-10-2020-12-45-21-Copy-1024x778.jpg\" alt=\"Tate Modern\" class=\"wp-image-6320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.linguaholidays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Photo-21-10-2020-12-45-21-Copy-1024x778.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.linguaholidays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Photo-21-10-2020-12-45-21-Copy-300x228.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.linguaholidays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Photo-21-10-2020-12-45-21-Copy-768x584.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.linguaholidays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Photo-21-10-2020-12-45-21-Copy-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.linguaholidays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Photo-21-10-2020-12-45-21-Copy.jpg 1087w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Tate Modern exhibit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">British culture and current affairs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Language and culture are deeply connected. However, even if you\u2019re not in the UK, you can still explore its culture. And if you can&#8217;t get to London, we&#8217;ll bring the city to you! &nbsp;Certainly read articles and podcasts in your own time, but your lessons could be the key to unlocking the British sense of humour!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should I take individual or group lessons?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as in a classroom environment, if there are 12 of you in your online class, learning will be slower. If you\u2019re ambitious and want to learn fast, you&#8217;ll progress faster with intensive individual lessons. For a start, you\u2019ll get far more chances to speak. Group lessons are a great option if you want to keep costs down or like the idea of studying with others, but for best results, we\u2019d recommend a maximum group size of 4 or 5 students, all of a similar level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do your homework<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\nreally want to see get the most out of learning English online, be sure to practise\nbetween lessons, even if just for 10 minutes a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last but\nmost important \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The chances are that any trips you had planned to the UK have been cancelled.
