Frequently asked questions
You can find the answers you need in our frequently asked questions.
In the past, comparing the two types of learning formats may have been more challenging. However, nowadays, our teachers enhance in-person language lessons with videos, digital visual materials, apps, and other online resources, making the online space a more integrated part of this teaching method. We believe both formats have significant advantages—while in-person classes offer benefits like face-to-face interaction and more nonverbal cues, online lessons allow participants to learn from the comfort of their preferred environment. The popularity of online classes is also reflected in a recent spring survey, where over 96% of our students indicated that they would still choose online learning even if the pandemic situation allowed for safe in-person lessons.
In addition to textbooks and the modern methods acquired during their studies, they also use video and visual materials, applications, and other online resources.
Our online group courses typically have 4 to 10 participants.
Several factors may influence this, but students usually receive the link to join the class no later than 10-15 minutes before the lesson begins.
Yes, it is possible. If you still experience any issues, the school's customer service can assist you.
All the listed devices can connect to Zoom, but in our opinion, a laptop, desktop computer, or larger tablet provides the most comfortable learning experience for you.
All our instructors are native or native-level teachers, so this does not affect the course pricing.
Our level system is easy to follow and transparent. For example, during a 120-hour general English course, you can achieve one language level (e.g., Intermediate). To learn more about the pace of progress in our courses and the full structure of our level system, feel free to contact our team through any of our available channels.
Depending on the group and the teacher, you can choose between SpeakOut 2nd Edition or English File 4th Edition.Both books present grammar and develop vocabulary through speaking and listening comprehension exercises, thus developing and teaching several areas of the language at the same time. Modern online help files, which are very popular with students, are included and the code to use them is hidden in the books.A textbook is typically taken over a 120-hour course or two 60-hour courses.
Several internationally recognized language exams are available in Hungary, including Cambridge, IELTS, and TOEFL. The most suitable option for you depends on the country where you plan to use the certificate and the specific purpose of the exam.
