My first impressions of the English online course

Online courses offer you a great opportunity to learn the language you want at the most appropriate time for you. There are many languages you can choose: English, Business English, Spanish, German, Italian, French and Portuguese. Also you can choose which level of which language to study.

To start the course, you must have made an account with your user name and password. Your password gives you the opportunity to go to all levels and lessons you decide it`s useful for you. You have a summary of all lessons, where you can see what the lesson contains like grammar and words.

For the Spanish course (like every other), there is a program, which shows you at what time and at which level there are lessons. These lessons are taught by a qualified teachers in a virtual classrooms and they are connected with different parts of life like home, work, shopping and many others. You can also do a homework and when you want, you could send it to your teacher for check, by clicking the “Courier”.

You can connect your teacher by entering the virtual classroom at the level you want, or when you have a question you could see whether the teacher is online at the upper left angle of the page, and you can ask by connecting Skype.

This course offers you an opportunity to listen and speak as much as possible.
While learning, you develop your writing, speaking and listening skills. Also texts in the course help you to learn more about the culture and life of the Spanish people.
At the end of every lesson, there is a summary of the new words and grammar you have to pay attention to.

Lessons are developed specially for this type of learning – online learning. There are dictionaries and exercises after each lesson. You also have a review lessons and when you have learned all the lessons of your level, there is a test, which helps you to choose which level to go next. You can find all materials you need, in the web page at the section “Learning materials” and you can use them at any time .

After you have made the test, you can see your teacher comments at “tests”-> “Results”, which helps you to realize your mistakes and what to pay attention to.
The best of online learning is that you can learn language wherever you are, and whenever you want. You have 24 hour access to the e-books and you could see what each level contains. You can also visit different level lessons at the same time, which could be very useful for developing your language skills.

Nowadays it is preferred type of learning, which provides great possibilities for personal and professional development.
