Everyone knows that along with dance, learning a foreign language is a great activity to keep you mentally alert, foster long and short term memory, and improve your all around knowledge base. Besides, it’s cool and a lot of fun! Education has been migrating to online platforms for quite a while, but it got its biggest push ever with the appearance of COVID-19. A lot of people now have more time than they know what to do with…so why not learn a new language or improve your existing skills?
Well, you say, there are so many free or low cost online apps available. Why should I go one-on-one with a native or bilingual tutor? That’s an easy one to answer. While commercial apps are fun and informative, they lack the human to human element, which is key in language learning. They can provide you with common vocabulary, but not teach you how to put it into sentences that are usable and practical. They can’t give you cultural notes or discuss how words can alter their meanings in different contexts. You also won’t make that all important “think in the target language” shift without the help of a expert on your side.
