In today’s global economy, fluency in more than one language is an important way to set yourself apart from the competition. Companies in all sectors including engineering, healthcare, education, media and business seek multilingual applicants.
Learning a new language is a challenge that requires practice and dedication, and as always it helps to have extra motivation, right? Taking lessons with friends or co-workers is a fun and relaxing way to learn a new language. With LIM, languages are taught in-person and online by native speakers. In addition to private one-on-one tutoring, you can also choose group lessons with one to two friends, colleagues or family members in the location of your choice.
Have you found it challenging to learn a language using conventional methods? Here are 5 reasons why you should try a group lesson with LIM today:
#1 Conversation practice with your friends is a lot easier
Speaking with a friend is an easy and enjoyable activity in your native language and the same is true in a foreign language. During lessons with co-workers, you can take advantage of lesson time to finish discussing issues or ideas from earlier in the day. When you least expect it, you'll already be thinking in another language!
#2 See your friends and stay motivated
With our busy day-to-day lives, it can be challenging to find time to see our friends or to include social activities into our hectic schedules. Lessons with friends combines socialization, inspiration and learning. You will have a reserved time to see your friends every week and achieve your language learning goals. And on those days when you’re feeling tired and don’t want to have your lesson, you’ll have your friend to encourage you, and vice versa.
#3 Spend less to learn faster
Your group lessons can be online, at your office or at home, eliminating transportation costs. And with LIM you also eliminate expenses for textbooks since LIM materials are included in the lesson price. LIM materials are assigned for each lesson and for homework and are accessible on any device - computer, cellphone, tablet - so you can do your homework or review your notes during your lunch or on the train home. Most importantly, LIM group lessons are the same price as one-on-one lessons - that means you only pay half or a third of the normal one-on-one rate. So for online lessons, you will only pay $5 or $7.50 for fun weekly lessons with a native speaker tutor with your partner, best friend or colleague.
#5 Get the attention you need
In small group lessons there is nowhere to hide - you have to participate actively and consistently throughout each lesson. And LIM tutors make sure plenty of speaking practice and conversation is included so you can get direct, immediate feedback to correct any pronunciation errors before they become habits. And since you are practicing in a comfortable setting with friends, you’ll feel more at ease speaking freely which will help you practice and improve faster.
#6 Customized connections and content
The LIM platform uses an algorithm that matches you with tutors based on your shared interests and areas of work or study to encourage productive discourse and networking. For example: If you and your colleague will be attending a conference in France focused on healthcare, you can have lessons with a French tutor who either studied or works in the medical field. LIM tutors also tailor the content of the lessons to your groups level and objectives so you have a personalized curriculum. And you’ll start with and complete periodic progress assessments to see the fruit of your labor and stay motivated.
