The topic and interest of online learning has skyrocketed in the past couple of years, especially when it comes to language learning. Traditional classrooms are no long the best way to learn Spanish or any topic for that matter.<\/p>\n
No doubt it depends on what type of experience you’re looking to have as there is a dramatically different experience with between the two. The one thing that you should be asking yourself is if there is a difference in the quality of education you receive.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s delve deeper into this topic and check out a few of the main advantages of using the technology for learning the Spanish online versus taking the classic route of attending a class at your local college, language learning center, or private tutors.<\/p>\n
Trying to get a to class all the way across town when you’re stuck in traffic for an hour after work is the worst.\u00a0 It drains your motivation faster than the gas you burn to actually get there.<\/p>\n
The best part about online learning is that you are able to take a class from anywhere, literally. You could even use your cell phone is you wanted. Remote learning from the comfort of your own home is one of the biggest benefits of learning a second language online. You could even take a quick class after work in your office. At home, at work, or a coffee shop: Anywhere with a solid internet connection becomes your classroom and learning playground.<\/p>\n
According to Thumbtack.com, the cheapest you\u2019ll find private\u00a0Spanish lessons<\/a>\u00a0is $30 per hour\u2014but in reality it’s more\u00a0 around $50 . You can expect group lessons to be around $100 to $175 per month for a weekly 60 minute or 90 minute class. How much are you really going to learn from someone with just four hours per month? My guess is not THAT much.<\/p>\n Online programs such as\u00a0Touri<\/a>\u00a0offers daily live classes for approximately $29 per week. *Value bomb* \u2026 that is a significant difference. Just think, you could potentially take around 30 classes per month for the same price as traditional Spanish-learners are paying for just four hours!<\/p>\n Of course, some people are able to afford a private\u00a0Spanish tutor<\/a>\u00a0to visit them at their home every day for $50-$90 a lesson. Some have enough free time that they can make the commute to daily lessons. But in reality, most in-person classes are on a weekly basis.<\/p>\n Do you thinking you will learn more with 1 class a week or the opportunity to immerse yourself with 20 to 30 lessons monthly with a native instructor? When you get that much exposure to a language the difference is simply astronomical. I don\u2019t even have to break it down for you because the math is so simple: 4 classes a month or 20 – 30 classes per month? Enough said.<\/p>\n Online courses allow the flexibility for you to attend lessons whenever you want. If we’re keeping score, then location restricted language learning facilities loses a point and online learning gains a point. When you have the ability to access your learning materials whenever you want is also a huge bonus.<\/p>\n What you will find with the majority of physical language learning institutions is common shared policy: \u201cMissed classes may not be made up at another time or replaced with other services.\u201d Wait, what? That sounds terrible.<\/p>\n What if you distracted\u00a0 at work or some unforeseen circumstance happens? You end up missing out on valuable information that can\u2019t be made up for and you potentially might fail the course if it isn\u2019t self-paced. Even worse, you’ll have to retake the class. Bummer.<\/p>\n Even online Spanish courses that are not 100% self-paced are still booked by you at your own convenience. So the likelihood of missing a class is next to nil. On the contrary, even if you do miss a lesson,\u00a0 you can just pick up from where you left off previously\u2026 it’s that simple.<\/p>\n Of course if I told you there was a drawback for learning online, I’d be lying to you. Online learning does require a little more focus and dedication. For younger students, a classroom environment can be important as it provides a little more structure. It also takes some discipline on your behalf to schedule your own lessons and follow through with the learning process. The ability for younger people to build their social networks is also important, which will provide social accountability amongst their peers as well.<\/p>\n On the other hand, adults with busy careers, this is usually not the case. As adults we already have a purpose or reason WHY we want to learn a language. This “why” is the driving force that causes us to take massive action even without the need of the structure.<\/p>\n The beauty about online lessons, especially in the eyes of professional adults is the ability to work around your schedule. The time saved by being able to attend class from pretty much anywhere you want, your progress is so much faster without making a huge dent into your budget makes\u00a0learning a language online<\/a>\u00a0instead of in a classroom a no-brainer decision. If you learn more at a significantly faster pace, the quality of education is ultimately better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The topic and interest of online learning has skyrocketed in the past couple of years, especially when it comes to language learning.
