2. Learn at your leisure

Do not limit your lesson time. Learn the language - is not only to do the exercises. You can be pumped skill, listening to songs and podcasts or reading English-language bloggers.

Everyone knows how important it is to watch movies and serials with subtitles in English, but not all are aware that there are special training applications. Online translators Skyeng associated with the same application on your phone, so that new words can be repeated at any time.

If you want results, do not choose between the teacher and the usefulness of the site. They can and should be combined.

Not so important, the Russian-speaking or English-speaking teacher you. The main thing is that the teacher was just a teacher, not a biologist from London, an interpreter of Peter or mechanic from Adelaide. To speak the language and teach it - two different things.

But essays and speaking exercises will test a separate team of experts.
