Q: We've been studying Spanish/French at home for the past year. Would we really benefit that much more from a class environment?
A: Absolutely! Language cannot be truly learned in a vacuum. Language is dynamic, and so should be learned and practiced continuously in an interactive environment.
Most people say their main goal in learning a foreign language is to be able to speak it. That is why we use the power of the internet, weekly phone conversation practice, and in-class discussions to constantly improve our students' ear for the language, pronunciation, listening, and speaking abilities.
Grammar is also taught in a complementary fashion to the English grammar learned in other classes. So, students benefit from a greater understanding of their first language in the process of learning a second.
Without real-time interaction with fellow learners, speaking correction, personalized grading, critiques, and encouragement many of the at-home, online, or book-only methods out there fall short of a well-rounded foreign language education.
Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. Matching personality types of instructor to student and learning styles of student to instructor methodology is key.
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. Language cannot be truly learned in a vacuum. Language is dynamic, and so should be learned and practiced continuously in an interactive environment. Most people say their main goal in learning a foreign language is to be able to speak it. That is why we use the power of the internet, weekly phone conversation practice, and in-class discussions to constantly improve our students' ear for the language, pronunciation, listening, and speaking abilities.
Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?
A. Do you have legitimate testimonials tracking both the length of time you have spent on your craft and some milestone achievements?
Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?
A. TTF - Target, Timeline, and Flexibility. What are you trying to accomplish with your learning? How long do you have to achieve it? What times/days will work best even if they're not the same every week?
Q. Do you have a favorite story from your work?
A. As luck would have it, on my final day at the English Language Institute, we took a field trip to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. I was surprised by our dear students with a card signed by more than 30 students and colleagues which held a gift card to Dick's Sporting Goods (based on my endless wearing of an iPod with pedometer at work). Later I received an additional cherished gift by email of the following farewell video produced by them and recorded in their own words...IN ENGLISH TO BOOT!
