Learn English and Make a Move Towards Your Dreams

Coming from a small village or town to set foot in a big city can be a frightening experience, especially if you come from a small town or village. You not only have to find your way around a new place, you also have to find a place to live, figure out transport, and maybe even look for a job. In most cities across the world, the majority of people you will come into contact with speaks English, and your ability to converse in English will make life in the big city, so much more enjoyable.

The bustling city of Polokwane is a place where you’ll be able to learn the basics around English, improve it through English second language courses or go on to study a formal certificate or accredited certification at a college or university. Unfortunately, most people lack the funds, and sometimes the minimum admission requirements to get into a college or degree program. So how will you then follow your dream?

Determination and persistence will help you find the way, but we’re happy to say that with the help of English tutors and beginner English classes you’ll be advancing towards that dream job or qualification in no time.

Learning English is An Investment

The modern world has changed. People conduct more and more of their business online and various colleges and schools also changed their approach to offer English second language courses and programs on the internet. You need to have a good understanding of English to navigate your way around the internet or your smartphone, and it is almost impossible to operate in a commercial society without English proficiency.

Finding a job, studying for a degree, doing bank administration and reading contracts for your future house purchase… all these require a good level of English comprehension, speaking and reading skills. Learning English is the international language of business and will not only help to make your daily administration easier, it will also be a skill you continue to use for the rest of your life.

You might have to make some sacrifices along the way to make your dreams come true. Finding a job to work while you study part-time, moving far away from home or having additional financial pressures, are all part of the investment towards fulfilling your dreams.

Luckily you know, that investing in your future and education in something that no one can take away. Isn’t that an encouraging and empowering thought?

An Introduction to ESL

ESL, ESOL, TOEFL, IELTS… so many terms and how should you make sense it all? To find beginner English classes, you’ll probably have to do a search for ‘ESL lesson beginners’ to find tutoring options or language schools who offer English courses for beginners in Polokwane.

ESL is the abbreviation for English Second Language while ESOL stands for English for Speakers of Other Languages. So, these two basically have the same meaning and are used interchangeably in most cases.

IETLS (International English Language Testing System) and TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) are two widely accepted international language tests. They are widely accepted and recommended by English universities, together with countries across the globe, to prove that second language speakers are able to speak, listen, read and write in the English Language.

You might not immediately need to prepare for one of these international exams but knowing about them and keeping them in mind can help guide your tutor and current studies towards eventually passing them with a good mark. That’s if a degree or immigration is on the cards in your future.

Learning English for the First Time

A lot of new English speakers are eager to learn and are completely aware of the benefits of learning this popular language. Sometimes however, the fear of the unfamiliar and potential embarrassment holds them back from starting English lessons and taking that first step towards the direction of their dreams.

Let’s try and eliminate that fear by clearing out what to expect from your first ESL lesson? Beginners are approached differently to Intermediate or advanced English students. If you book a Superprof tutor and agree to study with them online, your tutor will guide you through this process step by step, making you feel at ease while also sparing you the embarrassment of a group class.

Your tutor will know how best to evaluate your current English capabilities by having casual conversations, asking questions and potentially giving you a short, fun writing and oral speaking exercise.

Improving and Mastering Your English

English tutors are not only for beginners.  A lot of the Superprof tutors have years of experience, are familiar with teaching different levels of English and will be able to help you improve your English.  This is especially useful if you plan to prepare for something like an English oral exam, big interview or even your TOEFL exam.

Experienced tutors are the best when it comes to complex and technical aspects around the English language. These will include the usage of verbs, understanding tenses and other grammatical aspects around English. 

Then it comes to speaking English like an English native speaker, a tutor can help you with refining your pronunciation of certain words and phrases.  They will also teach you about inflection around sentences and how you smooth them out to speak seamlessly.
