Prepare for your first day of online language school

Lifestyle Jan 05, 2023


Congratulations on taking the first step in learning English and deciding to take online English language classes! It is important to be prepared for your first language class. Below are some helpful tips you can use to make your first lesson more effective.


1) Download a translation app


When learning a new language, it is important that you download a translation app before your first day of online language class

Why? Because there might come a time when you don’t understand what the teacher is trying to explain but your language skills aren’t as advanced, and you do not know how to communicate the situation you are in.

This is where the translation app comes in handy. If you, or even your teacher, have a moment where you do not understand each other then you can use your translation app to help you get right back on track!


2) Join a free trial class with different companies before you buy a course


Learning a new language can be challenging. That is why it is important that you have a teacher that is a good fit for you as a student. 

A good teacher will help their students achieve their goals by teaching in a way that benefits the student. It is very important that you feel these lessons are helping you climb toward your goal. 

That is why you should schedule trial classes with different teachers from different companies to see which company and teacher will be the best fit to help you achieve your language learning goals.


3) Watch a few sample classes on YouTube


The first day of anything new can always be a bit scary and intimidating. It is proven that people’s anxiety and stress levels increase when they do not have definite answers. 

Not knowing what to expect or what will happen on your first day of online language school is a good example of what causes many students anxiety and stress. 

That is why it is highly recommended that you watch a few sample classes on YouTube before you attend your first day of online language school. This will help you become familiar with the classroom setup, what type of teaching methods to expect, etc.


4) Why are you taking online language classes?



In the first lesson, it is very common for teachers to ask their students what their goals and aims are for learning a new language. Therefore, to save time, have an answer prepared. Remember, there is no right or wrong answer to this question. 

These online language classes are supposed to help you reach your language learning goals. So be honest about what you would like to have achieved after you have taken all the necessary language classes. 

You should also never be afraid to let the teacher know when you feel you are no longer gaining anything from the lessons. Always remember to have fun and enjoy the process of learning a new language!
