Learning a foreign language can be a real rollercoaster:

Joyful and delightful ups await you.

And falls... And we will help you avoid falls! 🙂

Regardless of whether you are starting to learn English on your own from scratch, or want to improve the knowledge you already have, these simple methods will be useful to everyone!

Moreover, you don’t even have to leave the house - you can sit at home in your pajamas, drink aromatic tea and put into practice what you are now learning... and then smile and be surprised at your results!

7 Simple Ways to Learn English at home on the couch in your pajamas :-)

1. Step one:

Organize your goals.

Determine clearly: what kind of English do you want to learn?

Colloquial? Writing? Or is it very important for you to read it and understand what you read?

If you are going abroad to travel, then you need spoken English. The ability to write in a language like Shakespeare is, naturally, like a stop signal for a hare :-) [not necessary!]

And if you want to move abroad and find a job there, then you need to be 100% proficient in all 4 aspects of the language: speaking, reading, understanding, and writing.

We all have different goals that are different from others. What is interesting and what exactly do you need?

1. Step two:

Find your favorite tutorial / video course / lessons for distance learning.

Once you have decided on your main goals (see point above), you need to take the bull by the horns. And find the most suitable way for you to study yourself.

The most ass Video lessons are a lifesaver for learning a language at home.

For both adults and children!

Everyone knows that their main and undeniable advantage is that during video lessons we see, hear, read, write and speak English!

Today you can study them both for a fee and for free.

In free access, information is usually “broken”, that is, presented in “pieces”. Like Napoleon cake - you get your 1-2 pieces, but not the whole cake :-)

Paid videos are known for the fact that there you are engaged in a complete, whole system. In good systems, everything is laid out step by step, explained clearly and simply.

That is, here you already get the whole Napoleon :-)

1. Step three:

When learning English from scratch, choose a professional Russian-speaking teacher!

That's right, cool. For those who continue. And the right path to nowhere for beginners.

Hundreds and hundreds of students, wood Fueled by the desire to conquer a foreign language, they immediately plunged headlong into the pool, choosing courses/lessons from a native speaker.

So to speak, we immediately “immersed ourselves in the environment.”

And bitter tears were shed. Or they threw textbooks in anger :-)

“How so?”– you are probably asking.

If you are just starting to learn English and know quite a few words, then you...

Firstly, you simply won’t understand most of what a native speaker will tell you;

He will not be able to explain to you the translations of many words and the peculiarities of grammar. Why is it like this in Russian, but like that in English?

Secondly, due to a complete misunderstanding, your desire to practice will quickly melt like butter in a hot frying pan!

Tested by hundreds of students.

Solution:

Find rus a native-speaking teacher who speaks excellent English and knows how to teach it.

He will be able to explain to you, as a beginner, all the important nuances of the language and will guide you by the hand through the first, basic and most important steps of learning.

Will give you the basics, explaining it easily and simply.

And, of course, in a good video course from a Russian-speaking teacher, you will also find training with native speakers. You will listen to them, answer questions, and ask your own. But this practice will be dosed, appropriate to your level. Immersing you in the language easily and smoothly, effectively and with pleasure.

Watch an English lesson for beginners with Oksana's explanations and training with a native speaker:

1. Step four:

Start processing your “cake”!

So, you've chosen the right video (or maybe audio) course. Great.

It's time to study it.

Like a big, kilogram Napoleon cake, the English course needs to be “processed” little by little.

If you try to swallow it all at once, you may experience indigestion! (best case scenario:-))

Of course, of course, you want to master the language here, now and quickly. But!

Spur your horse and decide on your speed.

Do you need to know a language very soon? Time is running out?

Then watch and work through 1 video (hour-long) per day. No more!

Remember, if you immediately start “grabbing everything at once”, the same mess will begin in your head :-)

1. Step five.

Talk to yourself.

Yes, yes, you understood everything correctly :-)

You just need to speak English :)

Your articulatory system must get used to foreign sounds.

By repeating freshly learned words, expressions and constructions out loud, you not only get used to the language, but also remember what you've learned better!

While doing household chores, imagine situations in which you will communicate and say out loud what you would say to your foreign interlocutor!

The effect will surprise you! 🙂

1. Step six:

Train as if tomorrow you will become the President of the USA :-)

Bruce Lee once said: “I'm not afraid of someone who studies 10,000 different strikes. I'm afraid of the one who studies one blow 10,000 times.»

Only by repeating and practicing one topic a hundred times can you become a champion in English.

Take your time to find out and learn everything. Practice each “stroke”, each grammatical topic many times, without fear of repetition. The language is forgotten once or twice, so every word, every topic is brought to automatism.

Many people don't know about this or forget it. And then they have to learn everything again, because they once seriously underlearned something.

Remember this important point, and train each blow, bringing it to automaticity. So that if you are woken up in the middle of the night and asked to translate: “I want ice cream, a handshake with Jason Stetchen, and an apartment in Hollywood.”, you could translate it right away! 🙂

1. Step seven:

The clock is the shepherd of time. Remember him!

Have you noticed how every year time seems to fly faster and faster?

Remember that time will pass. Anyway. 1 year, 5 years, 20 years...

And it depends only on you where you invest your time and what will happen to you in the nth number of years.

Will you remain stagnant without advancing your language skills even a millimeter?

Or will you master it and communicate freely, happy and proud of your results?

– Where to start learning English on your own?

This question can be asked by two categories of people: very, very newbies and those who have some kind of weathered base from their school days. So let's immediately separate: newcomers - to the left (more precisely, read on in this article), and those who have studied - to the right and . Because the recipe will be different for you.

Now I’m addressing only you, beginners: this article is dedicated to your route from beginner to elementary level. Together with Olga Sinitsyna, head of the methodology department, we described each step in detail and collected all the necessary links. This is the most complete article on the topic. Precisely for those who want to do everything themselves.

Contents of the article: teaching English independently from scratch

1. Alphabet: learn English from scratch on your own and for free

Pay attention to the patterns and differences of the sound system as a whole: in English there are almost no soft consonants, there are long/short and wide/narrow vowels, etc. To understand all this, .

3. First words: learn English on your own from scratch for free online

Since sounds need to be learned as part of a word, at the very first stage you will learn your first English words. You need to start with simple words that are used in everyday life.

6. Learn English grammar for beginners

In parallel with reading and studying entire phrases, you need to understand grammar. But not in theory, don’t delve into it by itself - learn useful English phrases and, using their own example, delve into the essence of grammatical rules. How it works, .

Also watch the video on how to properly teach grammar to a beginner

Let's look at what exactly needs to be understood and remembered at the initial level:

Articles. They are not in the Russian language at all. An article is a function word that is used together with a noun:

an apple (apple)

Here we have used the indefinite article an, because the word begins with a vowel. If a word begins with a consonant, then the article will be - a.

a dog (dog)

But in addition to the indefinite article, there is also a definite article - the. This video will help you understand articles:

Plural. Learn the rules for forming the plural of nouns. This is usually done by adding the suffix -s:

a cat – cats (cat – cats)

Order of words in a sentence. In English it is strict: the subject comes first, then the predicate, then the other parts of the sentence:

I love my job. (I love my job)

In an interrogative sentence, the word order is different and an auxiliary verb is added:

Do I love my job? (I love my job?)

It will help you deal with these subtleties.

There must be a verb. Without a verb, an English sentence simply cannot exist. And where there is no verb in Russian, .

I am a doctor. (I am a doctor or I There is doctor, literally)

Features of the time system. The English language has three tenses, just like ours: present, past and future. But each time has four forms, and those who study them are constantly confused. You don't need to immediately plunge into this chaos.

Imperative mood– when you tell another person what to do. In English it is formed simply:

Love me! (Love me!) Do it! (Make it this one)

And other topics: degrees of comparison of adjectives, regular and irregular verbs, phrase there is – there are. Full list of topics. And so you and I will gradually get to elementary.

7. Comprehensively, from all sides: how to learn English on your own from scratch

All this - words, phrases, grammar - needs to be improved from 4 sides: listening, writing, speaking and reading. We have collected and described for you independent exercises and materials for working on each skill:

– Your level now is zero or beginner. On average, it takes 90-100 hours of study to reach the next level. Decide right away how many hours a day you are willing to study? If it’s an hour, then in 3 – 3.5 months you should reach the elementary level. If it’s half an hour, then multiply the time by two. So set this period as a deadline for yourself.

– Now break down this huge goal of “reaching the elementary level” into specific and very clear tasks like “learn to express thoughts in the present tense”, “learn the 100 most common words”, “read a book in English”. Also plan these tasks according to specific deadlines.

Be sure to read it! Or watch the video:

9. What then? How to learn English on your own at home from scratch quickly

Learn English on your own online from scratch

Now you have a clear action plan. All in your hands. If you need simulators to practice English, then. When registering, we will determine your English level and choose a goal together. And after that, the service will provide daily activities for practice: vocabulary and grammar training, short stories to read, videos and audio for beginners. Let's break through together. 🙂

Today, English is a universal means of communication. With its help, excellent career prospects open up. And we shouldn’t forget about access to a wealth of information material. Thanks to your knowledge of English, you can watch your favorite TV series at the moment they are shown, and not wait until they are translated and adapted to the Russian language.

There are many advantages of knowing a second language, which is usually English, and they can be listed for a very long time. It is difficult to learn Shakespeare's language even in England itself. But everyone can master the basics of simple spoken language.

This does not require teachers and stuffy classrooms. Thanks to modern methods, self-learning English is a fun and interesting activity. And it’s not as complicated as it seems at first glance.

IMPORTANT: There are no people incapable of “languages”. Yes, learning a foreign language may be easier for some, but more difficult for others. The main thing is to learn how to properly motivate yourself and find a training course that is suitable for this.

Of course, if you need English not for watching TV series and reading your favorite blog, but for more serious tasks, then self-study is unlikely to help. You will have to attend special, highly focused courses. But you can get to them, starting with self-study.

Of course, it is much easier to learn any language from scratch, including English, by attending special courses and communicating with a “live” teacher

But such communication has a number of disadvantages:

• these types of activities cost money
• need to adapt to schedule
• If you miss one lesson you can fall far behind

Of course, many of the disadvantages of such training can be minimized by training with the help of Skype. But, if it is not possible to carve out several tens of thousands of rubles from the budget for such an activity, then the only way to learn English is to study it independently.

How to learn English from scratch?

• In order to learn JK Rowling's language from scratch, it is best to use a computer program or audio course for beginners. With their help, you can understand the pronunciation of individual letters and words. By the way, an audio course has a lot of advantages in this.
• With its help, training can be carried out without interrupting other activities. You can turn it on in the car while driving to work. If you prefer to travel by metro, then download this course to your smartphone and listen to it on the way
• Of course, an audio course cannot replace the visual perception of the English language. But there are special online trainings for this. Choose the course you need and start studying

IMPORTANT: From the first day of learning English, you should try to speak it. If this is not done, then you will not be able to speak it even when your vocabulary and knowledge of grammar improves.

In order to learn English from scratch, first learn the alphabet, then move on to simple words - house, ball, girl, etc.

Choose a training where learning new words is presented in the form of cards. A word in English should be written on it and what it means should be drawn. Scientists have long established the power of visual memory of information.

There is no need to try to remember too many words at once. At first, new information will come easily. Then, new words will be remembered easily, but old ones may be forgotten. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to pay more attention to consolidating new material. It is better to learn one new word a day, but reinforce all the old ones, than to learn 10 new words a day, but forget what you have already learned.

Where to start learning English?

• Usually people start learning English from the alphabet. There is a reason for this; you can understand how this or that letter sounds. But, it is not at all necessary to remember its correct order. You can remember the pronunciation of letters without the alphabet. Moreover, they do not always sound like in this list of letters from “Hey to Zeta”
• When you begin to understand letters, try to read as many English texts as possible. There is no need to understand what is written there. Of course, interesting pictures in the text will make you want to understand what it says
• Then you can use online translators. But don't put all the text in them. Translate one word at a time. This will allow you to learn the language even better and remember a few words.

Once you have mastered the English language, get a dictionary

• Write down in it (precisely write down with a pen) all unfamiliar words and phrases you encounter, and their translation
• In parallel with maintaining your dictionary, you need to start paying attention to grammar. English has a very complex tense system. There are irregular verbs and other difficulties in learning this language. All of them require a lot of time. But it will pay off in spades
• Don't forget about pronunciation. Even a person who understands well what is written in English text will not always be able to understand what native speakers of this language are talking about. As a rule, they speak faster than teachers and teachers of language schools.
• To make it easier to understand English, watch films, TV series and documentaries without translation. This is a great way to learn this interesting language.

IMPORTANT: Try to devote at least 30 minutes to English every day. To do this, it is advisable to choose certain hours. So by this time our brain will be able to “tune in” and the learning process will go easier in a few days.

How to easily learn English: methods of teaching English?

There are quite a few methods for learning this foreign language. The most popular are:

• Dmitry Petrov's method. A well-known polyglot in our country invented his own methodology and way of presenting information that fits into 16 lessons. Probably, many who were interested in learning English have seen a series of television programs in which Dmitry taught famous people. Thanks to this technique, you can quickly immerse yourself in the language environment and understand grammar
• Method "16". Another technique that allows you to learn the basics of English in just 16 hours. It is based on educational dialogues, after mastering which you will be able to understand the English language
• Schechter's method. This system of learning English was developed by the famous Soviet linguist Igor Yurievich Shekhter. Unfortunately, this technique cannot be used for independent learning of a foreign language. Moreover, a linguist teacher who will be allowed to teach using this method must himself undergo special training and pass an exam
• Dragunkin method. A popular method of teaching English in our country, developed by the famous philologist Alexander Dragunkin. He built his system on the so-called Russified transcription. In addition, he derived the “51 rules” of English grammar. By learning which you can master this language

The list of methods for learning English can be continued for a long time. The above systems are well suited for independent mastery of this language.

But the best method for learning English is Frank method

Students learning English using this method are given two texts. First comes the adapted excerpt. This is usually a literal translation, often accompanied by lexical and grammatical comments. After reading such a passage, the text in English is presented.

The technique is very good, interesting, but has one significant drawback - it is more suitable for learning to read in English, rather than speaking in it.

How to quickly learn words in English?

• There are many methods for memorizing words in a foreign language. The simplest of them is the traditional method. In a notebook you need to write down a few words in English (on the left side of the sheet) and their translation into Russian
• It is advisable to always keep the notebook open and in a visible place. Read the words and repeat from. Try to remember and go about your business. Refer to your notebook several times a day. After some time, you can write down a few more words. It is advisable to do this on another sheet. So that you leave it in a visible place and at any moment cast your gaze on the sheet with the words
• If you don't want a notebook, you can use the flashcard method. To do this, you need to cut sheets of cardboard into small cards. On the one hand, you need to write the word in English
• And on the second, its translation into Russian. Turn the cards over with the English or Russian side facing you and try to translate the words written there. Unfold the card and check the correct answer

The card method is very popular

On the Internet you can find online services where such cards are presented in electronic form. Thanks to the popularity of this method, today it is not difficult to buy ready-made cards. But it’s still better to make them yourself. After all, when we write something down on paper, we write it into our subconscious.

Don't try to remember a lot of words at once. This is not very effective in the long run. Words learned quickly are usually quickly forgotten.

How to learn English verbs?

In principle, the above methods for memorizing English words are suitable for both nouns and verbs. But among this category of English words there are also so-called “irregular verbs”. Like the correct ones, they mean:

• Action – to speak (speak), to come (come)
• Process – to sleep (sleep)
• State – to be (to be), to know (to know), etc.

At school such verbs are taught as follows. Students are given their list, and the teacher asks them to learn as much as possible from it by the next lesson. This list does not have any structure to facilitate the study of such verbs. Therefore, few of us were able to master the English language at school.

Modern methods are very different from those by which foreign languages ​​are taught at school

How to quickly learn irregular verbs in English?

• As mentioned above, to learn such verbs you can use the “card method”. But, unlike “simple” words, irregular verbs have three forms. What actually makes them wrong
• To make cards with irregular verbs, you need to write down the first form on one side, and the other two on the second side. Moreover, the first form does not need to be provided with a translation. And on the reverse side you not only need to write two forms of the verb with translation, but also provide a hint. For example, “alternating irregular verbs with a vowel in the root from [e]”
• The advantage of this method is that it is easy to use. You can go through the cards with your hands, first remembering the main shape, and then turn them over and do the same with other shapes. Such training can be done both at home and at work. Students can take these cards with them to college and repeat the verbs during breaks.

Example card:

To make it easier to memorize irregular verbs, they can be grouped into:

• the method of formation of the second and third forms
• repeatability or non-repeatability of forms
• alternation of root vowels
• sound similarity
• spelling features

All other verbs should be structured not alphabetically, as in school, but according to the above principles:

How to learn tenses in English

Another pitfall for anyone who wants to learn English is tenses. Having understood their use, you can take a big step forward in learning this language.

In general, there are three tenses in English:

But the difficulty lies in the fact that each time has types. The first type of such tenses is called Simple. That is, there is:

Continuous (continued, long) is the second type of tense.

The third type is called Perfect. Thus there are:

There is also another type of tense that combines all the previous Perfect Continuous tenses. Accordingly, the times can be:

IMPORTANT: In specialized literature on the English language, Simple can be called Indefinite, and Continuous - Progressive. Don't be scared, it's the same thing.

• In order to use English tenses in sentences, you need to understand what action is happening? It is regular, happened yesterday, is happening at the moment, etc. Simple tenses denote an action that occurs regularly, but its exact moment is not known. on Sundays – on Sundays (specific time is not known)
• If the sentence specifies a specific time (at the moment, from 4 to 6 o’clock, etc.), then Continuous is used - a long time. That is, time that denotes a specific moment or a specific period of time.
• If the action is completed, Perfect is used. This time is used when the result of an action is already known or you can know exactly when it will end (but may still be going on)
• The Perfect Continuous construction is used least often in English. It is used to denote a process whose action is not completed, but needs to be said about it at the moment. For example, “In May it will be 6 months that I have been studying English.”
• To study the tenses of the English language, you can also create tables, as for irregular verbs. Just enter linguistic formulas instead. You can use special literature. Better than several authors at once

Dmitry Petrov’s method “Polyglot 16” talks very well about tenses

How to learn text in English?

• If you need to learn a text in English in a short period of time, you can use several techniques for this purpose.
• Before learning a text in a foreign language, you need to prepare. Namely, translate it. On the one hand, it is impossible to learn a text in English without knowing what is written there. On the other hand, while we are translating, something will already be recorded in the “subcortex”
• When translating a text, you need to re-read it several times. If you do this during the day, then repeat this procedure before going to bed. We will sleep and our brains will work
• In the morning, the text needs to be printed and hung in visible places. When preparing food, the text should be in a visible place in the kitchen. We vacuum in the living room, it should also be visible

Text in English is remembered very well if recorded on a voice recorder

Let's go to the store, put headphones in your ears and listen, repeating every word to yourself. In the gym, instead of hard rock, you need to listen to this text again.

If the text is large, then it is better to break it into several small passages and memorize each of them in turn. Don't be afraid, learning text in English is not as difficult as it seems.

How to learn English in your sleep?

At the end of the Soviet era, many “unique” self-education methods poured into our country. One of them was to study foreign languages ​​while sleeping. Before going to bed, a cassette with lessons was put into the player, headphones were put on, and the person fell asleep. They say this method has helped some.

I know everything that sleep is very useful. According to researchers involved in this problem, sleep can improve mental abilities.

And in general, a well-rested person “absorbs” information better

• But for some reason he absorbs it after sleep. English words from the player can only ruin your sleep. This means worsening the perception of information the next day.
• But, sleep can really help. But, only if you set aside time immediately before studying English
• After such a lesson, you can get some sleep, and during this time your brain will “process” the information and put it into “shelves.” This method of learning foreign languages ​​has proven effective and is used by many people.
• This technique can be improved if, immediately after sleep, you consolidate what was learned before bedtime.

Learning English: reviews

Kate. To learn a foreign language you need to devote at least 30 minutes a day to it. Every day for half an hour. Even one missed day will have a very negative impact. I definitely devote 30 minutes to English a day. Plus, if you still have time, be sure to take it as a bonus.

Kirill. Now there are a lot of sites on the Internet where material is presented in a playful form. I'm learning English through TV series. I watch TV series in this language with Russian subtitles. I used to read subtitles all the time. And now I’m trying to understand myself.

How to quickly learn English from scratch to spoken English?

09/04 2017

Good afternoon dear friends!
Today I will tell you about how to quickly learn English from scratch. A large number of people believe that if you do not start speaking a foreign language in childhood, you will definitely not be able to speak it as an adult.

But this depends only on ourselves. Especially in our time of modern technology, such things become possible for everyone. In this article I will tell you the secret of how to properly use the advantages that we have. You will also find out if you can learn it at home.

From this article you will learn:

Cast aside all doubts

“For ten years at school I didn’t say a word! The teachers said that I was incapable,” you say. This approach will definitely not help you speak a foreign language. Forget about what you need to do since childhood or that this is not your strong point.

Most people absorb information in different ways, but there is not a single person who could not do it. Did you somehow speak your native Russian? You just need to find the option that is more effective and comfortable for you.

Is it difficult to learn? In fact, it is easier than in childhood. For children, this process takes ten years at school, while adults absorb information more consciously and are able to analyze it better.

Organization is the key to success

Organization is one of the simple secrets that is easy to learn. Take classes regularly. Set yourself a schedule. If you receive homework in a course, you don’t need to start working on it an hour before the next lesson.

It's better to break it into several parts. The length of time you study at home depends on you. It's good if you can spare an hour. It may be difficult for beginners, but the main thing is not to quit, but at least practice for 10-15 minutes a day, then increase. Slowly but surely you will reach your goal.

It's like muscles. You don’t come to the gym all day and pump up your muscles at once, expecting a beautiful body after the first workout? It’s the same with a foreign language – you need to constantly train.

And if you can’t exercise regularly, then just do it the way you want and can. This is your path and your language! I learned in spurts and still speak German.

For example, if you are on a diet for several days, and then one day you fail, and you continue to overeat, then all the results are reduced to zero, and if the next day you pull yourself together and continue it, the kilograms go away. Same with the language, do what you can. This article is advice on what is best, but in life everything is different.

Get a notebook – a dictionary – in which you will write down unfamiliar words. But you shouldn’t write everything down. Context matters. English has a huge number of polysemantic words. For example, mean means both “greedy” and “to mean.” Therefore, be sure to note to yourself in what sense you remember the word or write it down in a sentence.

There are also resources for beginning adult students. The famous series Extra was filmed specifically for beginners. Listen to foreign podcasts for any level. Various sites that contain everything: exercises, videos, and podcasts. The most popular are British Council and BBC.

In conclusion, I would like to advise you to enroll in effective courses that take place with a native speaker, and all the dialogues in them are also voiced by an English speaker, which will greatly help you in training your listening and speaking.

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen! In today's article we will consider the following questions: advantages and disadvantages of learning English at home, And how can you learn English from scratch without leaving home?.

Each of us somewhere once learned English or any other foreign language: in kindergarten, school, university, and then tried English courses in our city. I had to spend extra time traveling between courses, home or work. Now, on the contrary, there is an alternative option - learning English at home.

Advantages and disadvantages of learning English at home

What comes to your mind when you hear: “Teaching English at home”? There may be 2 options: on one's own study English at home or invite tutor.

Let's look at the pros and cons of these options.

• Irregular classes.

Today you are full of strength and energy and ready to read Agatha Christie’s novels in the original, and tomorrow you don’t want to do anything at all, let alone study English.

Self-study gives you freedom of action: I want to study, I want to watch TV. Such absences from classes do not bring anything good, haphazard lessons are ineffective, and you need to study English regularly.

• Inconsistent curriculum.

We all perceive information differently: some read a lot of theory, others are given practical tasks, others only listen to podcasts in English. This is all good, of course, but when learning a language you need to train all skills equally: reading, speaking, writing and listening.

• Problem with choosing educational materials.

On the Internet you can find a bunch of textbooks on learning English, but choosing a really worthwhile textbook is quite difficult. And you need to be able to work with any benefit. Take our word for it - it's not that easy to do.

• Work on mistakes.

Before you start studying on your own, think about who will correct your mistakes and guide you in your learning. If there is no person next to you who knows English well, then there is a high probability that all efforts will be in vain.

• Loss of motivation.

We start learning English with great enthusiasm, but after a few months we feel that we have reached a dead end. Disappointment sets in. “I’ve been learning this English for so long, but still no progress...”

All these disadvantages can be overcome if you start learning English at home, but with a teacher via Skype.

You will be able to choose a class schedule that is convenient for you and will not want to give up your studies. After all, you paid for the classes, and the person on the other side of the screen prepared for you the coolest materials that meet your requests and needs.

They will definitely work with you on your mistakes and point out weaknesses that still need to be worked on.

After half a year of classes, you will definitely feel progress - your vocabulary will expand, you will begin to perceive English speech by ear, you will no longer be embarrassed to speak English, or even begin to think in it!

How to learn English at home?

Self-learning is a difficult and time-consuming process, but it can be overcome.

So, first you need:

• Organize your goals.

Decide clearly: what kind of English do you want to learn? Colloquial? Writing? Or do you just need to read it and understand it?

If you are going abroad to travel, then you need spoken English. If you want to move abroad and find a job there, then you need to be 100% proficient in all four aspects of the language: speaking, reading, writing and understanding.

• Choose a professional teacher and a suitable textbook.

We can help you with this. On our website you will find a list of qualified teachers who can easily explain all the nuances of the English language. The textbook will be replaced by our educational platform ED Class. You just need to choose the appropriate course based on your goals.

This course will help you write a resume or CV and pass an interview in English. Also, the acquired skills will be useful in team work on projects, business correspondence, drafting technical specifications and other situations that require knowledge of the English language.
