What’s your biggest headache with your staff’s current level of English? 

• Can’t understand native speakers when they speak quickly?
• Can’t express themselves? 
• Feel isolated and cut off from society?

There’s a common misconception that adults can learn English through immersion in an English speaking country. Because children certainly can. While what’s more likely to happen is that adults will pick up the odd word but not be able to communicate effectively.

How online English courses will soothe your headache

What you’ll probably notice first is that your employees are more confident speaking English with colleagues. They understand more and are inspired to reach their potential in their work and personal lives. When learning English as a second language, online courses help boost speaking and comprehension week by week.

Why get Online English courses through video? 

English classes through video allow us to combine the best, personalised aspects of face to face English teaching with the convenience of video conferencing.

Some people consider using an app to learn English. But the subjects can be boring and a lot of people drop out. Do you want yet another forgotten app on your phone? The joy of language learning is actually speaking and listening to real people. 

In video classes, the teacher is real. And this means he or she can consistently deliver what’s most useful for learners in terms of their goals. 

The truth about why face to face English classes using video chat is an effective method of learning English

• A real teacher provides opportunity for exchanging ideas, learning about culture, and classes are tailored to what is useful for the learner.  
• Learner satisfaction is much higher in face to face classes either in person or using video conferencing.
• Hangouts, Zoom and Skype are all easy to use so it doesn’t matter if you or the person you’re organising this for doesn’t have advanced IT skills.
• The teacher can share PDFs, Word documents, photos and links, as in a face to face classroom, and type to the students. 

Do you still have reservations about online English courses through video? You may believe:

• The sound or picture quality will be bad and the call will keep dropping.
• Online classes will be a pain to organise.
• The classes won’t build the same rapport as face to face classes.

In reality:

• These days the audiovisual quality is good because technology has improved immensely.
• Just create a Skype, Hangouts or Zoom profile and your teacher adds you. Then the teacher starts the video call and you begin. 
• Our students report having a great team spirit in online English classes.
