5 BENEFITS OF LEARNING ENGLISH ONLINE

Ever considered learning English online? There’s no denying that with current advances in technology, the way we go about everyday life is changing and so is the way we learn. Education is one of the pillars of the modern world and now more than ever, an increasing number of people are opting to study online and you may be wondering why. Here are 5 benefits of learning English online:

1. Avoid commuting you choose to learn

No need for the busy commute – worrying about running late, getting soaked in the rain or not finding a seat on an overcrowded train or bus. Learning English online and in the comfort of your own home/workspace can help you save a large sum of money on fuel or transport costs!

2. Convenience and flexibility

Learning English online allows you to plan your studies around your day instead of the other way round. This means that you can choose to take your English classes when you are fully focused and give the lessons your undivided attention. When you choose to learn English online it allows you to take your classes when you are at your peak energy and effectively balance your work, study and family life.

3. Continue in your profession 

There is no need to take time off work! For most people, the cost involved in taking a course to learn English means that they will have to carry on working in order to cover the course expenses. The previously mentioned convenience and flexibility of learning English online allows you to schedule your online sessions around work so that you can continue to earn money while also pursuing academic credentials.

4. More comfortable learning environment

Learning English online and from home can be a much more comfortable and therefore effective learning experience for many students. A common reason for this is that you are well away from the distractions of other class members, which allows you to focus on learning the syllabus being taught. When learning English as a foreign language you may be shy or afraid to make mistakes if surrounded by others. Whereas if your teacher is the only other person present you will definitely feel more comfortable, not worried about making mistakes and therefore progress at a faster pace.

5. Learn at your own pace with Zoom

Many companies use Zoom for online teaching and so does Pronunciation First. Zoom allows you to learn at your own pace because once your course has been recorded via Zoom, it can be watched again and again for as many times as you need. You can use your media player to pause a Zoom MP4 recording or rewind it to a certain point. This allows you to learn at the pace that you find most comfortable.
