United Arab EmiratesLearning English with the British Council is very convenient because of its flexibility. As a resident of Dubai, I was able to find many lessons that suited my schedule. However, I noticed that some learners in other countries faced issues with this.At first, I personally faced a big problem: some online classes were not available because they were fully booked. My advice is to plan ahead and book your online classes in advance.Another challenge you might face is finding a teacher you feel comfortable with. All teachers are really good at delivering information, but for me, feeling comfortable with my teacher is essential to working hard. For learners like me, I recommend trying classes with different teachers at the beginning, and then sticking with your favorite teacher later on.Keep in mind that you don’t need to book every class to improve your English. Focus on classes that will deliver results important for your progress. Skills like writing or speaking may need more attention than listening and reading.Lastly, do not be shy in class — speak with others even if you’re not confident. Good luck to everyone!
PeruThe British Council English online course is excellent! It combines video, grammar, and vocabulary exercises that I can do at my own pace. I highly recommend it.
ItalyGreat teachers who bring lessons to life. The materials they're provided with are skimpy and somewhat inadequate, sometimes plain wrong (there was an icon of a married couple - husband and wife - showing 2 females... this liberal crap is getting out of hand!). Some teachers make it absolutely worth it (Luca, for instance), but I can hardly book the same teacher multiple times as teachers themselves struggle to find slots. Other schools have less grand-sounding names and maybe worse teachers but their materials and overall systems are spectacularly better.
United KingdomThe flexibility and the variety that course offers to improve my english is great. Sometimes if I do not have enough time for online classes , I can still spare few minutes to do extra study and improve my language skills in different areas. The grammar exercises are very helpful and in variety. However,I do feel that memebrship is a bit expensive.
