Service Engoo: learn spoken English by Japanese technique
Forming Web Services / / December 19, 2019
While I stared at and test the service, remembers one friend, who for several years now goes to the English courses. Twice a week after work goes to a school where classes last for more than an hour, the house has been constantly writing some tests and gives a lot of money for it. But more often it notes with regret that no progress has not yet significantly, and the time and effort given to a lot of classes.
At school Engoo Each session lasts 25 minutes. During this time, the brain does not have time to get tired, so the activity was produced efficiently, the information is absorbed better.
In addition, 25 minutes is much easier to carve out in a series of daily affairs than an hour, the more that go nowhere is not necessary. Depending on the selected training program, you will have one, two or three sessions a day for 25 minutes.
The lesson and the teacher you choose yourself. The database service 3500 teachers from around the world. That is, it is not necessarily native speakers, although they too are. Many teachers from the Philippines and Jamaica - and here and there English is the official language. There are teachers from Serbia, Lithuania, Romania and even Russia. Just do not be tempted by the opportunity to engage in it with a Russian teacher, so that in case of difficulties in understanding switch to Russian, is much lower efficiency classes.
Surely you have a question, why the creators of the service not only invited speakers. For two reasons:
- People who themselves once learned the language, know what problems may arise and uncertainty, and understand how to fix them.
- All over the world speak English, but this is not the "king" of the British, which we learn in school. On such talk only broadcasters BBC and the queen. Therefore, you have to train to take different accents, if you want to learn to understand and speak.
When choosing a teacher, you can set filters: daily classes, gender, age and nationality of the teacher, tags, desired time employment.
The calendars of the teachers noted how long you can book lessons from him on that day.
If you open the page the teacher can see his schedule for the entire week. Book a lesson can be no later than 15 minutes before the start.
Each teacher has a photo that I, for example, was very helpful in choosing. Somehow easier when you see a person's face. Some teachers of the pages has a short video, so you can pre-listen to the voice and accent.
You are not tied to one teacher. You can book lessons each time anyone focusing on the time convenient for you. Or do the same, if you have already decided with whom you feel comfortable to do.
My personal experience
I was nervous before the first lesson. I find it hard to talk over Skype with strangers, especially with video chat, especially in English. But I was surprised at how easy exercise is over. Perhaps I was very lucky with the teacher, but I think it's service policy: the people working here who like to help others learn the language, because they are charged positive. Even in the photographs all sincere smile.
The first lesson I have kept a girl from Serbia Nala. This positive that it was impossible not to smile. Throughout the lesson, I supported and praised. And 25 minutes is really flew by and after the lesson I was left with the feeling that I can even now go to any English-speaking country and in my own way to talk with the locals. Although at the beginning of the lesson, I barely managed to say «Hello!».
In the first lesson the teacher will talk about themselves, about school, about the training options. They are generally two: the use of materials from the site or other Internet resources or to talk with the teacher on a topic. We Nala in the beginning of the class talked about simple topics: where I learned how old I am - and then work out on materials. During the first conversation she identified my level of English and gave a link to the lessons, which we will deal with.
During the lesson constantly asking if everything is clear, and explain the words and phrases that caused me questions. And all this is duplicated in the chat writing, so it remains a personal dictionary. After the occupation of service recommended to me a few teachers.
The cost of classes
You choose one of three training programs:
- $ 63 per month - one lesson per day, that is $ 2.1 per lesson. Even at the rate of 70 rubles to the dollar is 140 rubles per day. Even the coffee is not always popesh for the money.
- 105 dollars a month - two classes per day, that is $ 1.7 per lesson.
- 148 dollars a month - three sessions per day, that is $ 1.6 per lesson.
Small minus payment system - as long as you can only pay via PayPal.
But the first two lessons, you can try for free! What I recommend to do. As I said, after the first session, I felt that I could talk to anyone. Although English is my medium. At the lesson we began to engage in materials Intermediate level. But imagine what would happen if you practice every day.
Reading, Grammar, watching movies - it's all great, but live communication circulates knowledge steeper language. So cool to know that here is a man from another country and he understands you, and you know it.
Do not be afraid and resolutely begin to practice English. The school Engoo is fun and not scary. All success!
