How do they compare?
Private classes are fantastic for people to advance in their understanding of English. I think they are best when supporting regular guided practice and helping higher level speakers deepen their knowledge.
When it comes to learning language, we are looking for a transformation of our ability to communicate and not only information.
We all first learnt to listen and then to speak – to communicate – before anything else. We were helped daily by our parents. I aim to do that At a higher level of English, when knowledge is retained for longer periods, daily help becomes less important.
“The main goal is simple – to understand and to be understood”
If we want to learn language in a meaningful way, we must try to come as close to the way in which we learnt as children. We were given a constant space to make mistakes and express what was inside us – we were mentored throughout the learning process.
