    Frequently asked questions

    The internet can be a great resource when it comes to learning a new language. The best approach depends on what you want to learn. If you're focused on vocabulary, apps that introduce frequently used words can be handy. Having a private tutor is a great way to get regular practice if you want to learn to hold a conversation. Having regular speaking practice will help you learn natural and fluent sentence structure. You can also use online forums to meet other language learners and get quick answers to your questions. If you want an easy way to start straight away, try listening to songs in the language you want to learn.
    There are lots of free resources online that can help supplement your learning, but they often work best as an addition to professional courses or tutoring. While apps and websites can be a great way to refresh your vocabulary, learning to speak a language fluently requires lots of conversations! Having a personal tutor means having someone who will pick up on small mistakes so that your speech sounds more natural and also gives you the chance to ask questions and get instant feedback.
    If you're looking for a language tutor online, you need to make sure you're looking at websites you can trust. Be wary of personal blogs, unverified sites or AI-generated content as it can be easy to pick up misinformation. Preply lets you look through multiple different tutor profiles so you can find a professional offering the skills, qualifications and areas of expertise you need. You can also compare different hourly rates for online language lessons so you can match your learning to your budget.
