Learning advice
What to ask before choosing a language course
Look beyond the course title and find a learning experience that fits.
Understand the starting point
Ask who the course is designed for and what previous knowledge is expected. A course title or level is a starting point for a conversation, not a substitute for understanding your own needs.
Check the practical details
Confirm the instructor, class format, location, schedule, fee, and what learning materials are included. Consider whether you can give the course consistent attention alongside work or school.
Discuss your goals
Explain what you want to use the language for. Ask how lessons support speaking, listening, reading, and writing, and how you can get feedback on your progress.
