Take English classes with a private teacher in Drogheda

Are ESOL lessons for you?

If your first language is not English but you want to learn English, then you are automatically considered an ESOL student. It simply means you’re learning English as another language. There are many ways to learn a language, immersing yourself in the language and its culture is a good way of steadily progressing in a language. Luckily English may be the most prevalent language in the world due to colonial history and the global influence of English speaking America. However, this isn’t enough on its own, people often need help with learning a foreign language, pen-pals, school, courses and even private tutors are all options. If you are struggling with learning English in any way, or you feel you could be progressing faster then lessons may be the way forward!

Learning English is difficult

English is widely known as one of the most difficult languages to learn, especially for non-romance language or Germanic language speakers.  This is because languages are often “related”. French, Italian, Spanish and Romanian all stem from Latin which means there’s a lot of grammatical overlap. If you speak Japanese however, then all the sounds and grammar in these languages will sound very weird. This doesn’t answer the question though, why is English so hard for everyone to learn. English is filled to the brim with out of place nouns, exceptions and rules that never even occur to native speakers. It doesn’t help how English is a German language but has a lot of Latin influence due to the assimilation of Norman French. These French words have been “anglicised” and their similar sounds converted. This has caused (amongst other reasons) non-sensical spelling. The slight differences between British English and American English don’t help either; colour or color?

Motivation when it gets tough

We now know English can be hard to learn and this can often stop a language learning journey before it begins, especially when you’re learning it by yourself. This is one of the biggest benefits of courses or lessons in learning English. Courses in Ireland give an extra push to learners with their language learning. The responsibility to show up to classes, to hand in homework and to keep up with the readings. It provides a focus that helps you to learn at any level. Learners always benefit from this focus and the discipline the course/lessons provide. You don’t have to learn English in Ireland alone. 

The environment to help learning

Students often find it nerve-wracking to ask questions in class, to read out loud, to try to speak in a foreign language. Students can avoid or lessen this problem with a tutor. With a tutor, language students don’t have to worry about being embarrassed, or “failing” in front of others. When you’re with a tutor during lessons, it is purely a learning experience and you can feel safe in the knowledge that your tutor is there to support your education, no matter what level you are at. By removing all this worry, you can focus on your pronunciation and improving rather than worrying about anything else.
