Distance language learning

Lingualearn provide distance learning solutions for many languages; the main ones are English, Spanish, French, Italian, German and Dutch.

Examples of on-line language learning

The courses are tailor-made for each individual and typically consist of self-study using published materials, written exercises by email, telephone follow-up and general support via the website:

Course materials + email + phone + website

e.g.1  A level supplementary course = read set texts + write essays and send by email + discuss answers on the phone

e.g.2  Business course = read business letters + write replies and send by email + discuss content or corrections on the phone

e.g.3  Course for young learner = listen to songs on CD + write down some of the lyrics and email to tutor + chat about songs to tutor on the phone

e.g. 4 Beginners course for travel abroad = watch CD ROM + make notes + practise key structures on phone with tutor.

Cost and duration of Lingualearn on-line language learning programs

Distance courses are for a minimum of 30 hours; we recommend at least three hours per week.  Courses vary in price according to their length and complexity, and according to the qualifications/experience of the tutor, but a ballpark figure for a 30-hour course would be £900 with a qualified native-speaker teacher.  This price would include teaching materials and a brief needs analysis, but not the cost of telephone calls to your tutor or VAT.  Once our quotation is accepted, we'll send you an order form, an invoice for the course fee plus £30 registration, together with our terms and conditions of trade.  Please note that a 30-hour course is the time spent by the learner; this consists 15 hours tuition by phone plus 15 hours self-study (completion of reading, writing and listening exercises, set and marked by your tutor). 

If time and location permit, we recommend that students and tutors have an initial face-to-face meeting and occasional meetings to review progress.  When possible, these meetings may be arranged at an additional cost of ~£50 to £75 per hour (plus travel expenses where applicable).
