Alternative tools for learning English

In This Article:

Why are there so many ways to learn English? Why do new schools and courses continue appearing?

Finally, why don’t people just use the alternatives for independent learning? The general answer is “so many people – so many tastes”. But it does not explain the gist of the learning process being so variously presented in diverse forms and tools. Which of them can people use for learning English by themselves, and how is https://langly.ai/en/ related to the issue? Let’s clarify.

The classic method and its inconveniences

When thinking about learning and teaching, we always remember our school classes or college lessons, where teachers tried to involve us in some group interaction to practice some rules. Most people consider these classes boring and regret not learning them, while they need this knowledge now.

Indeed, primary, secondary, and often higher education used the same models for holding lesson activities for learning a foreign language. Only those the most willing managed to get all the topics and obtain the highest marks. People who were not that talented or persistent struggled because of the following:

●learning in groups of 10 to 30 people in class forced teachers to apply a more or less generalized approach;

●interactive activities imitating actual situations were more like cringe than something that worked;

●the motivation was a rare thing that meant getting high notes most often – students were not interested in learning foreign languages to using them.

Those are only the most general points that do not involve the finesses of the teaching process itself. Now, with rapid technology development and its broad implementation in the education systems, people have far more opportunities to make lessons more fascinating. However, there are not so many chances to learn a language – today, solo alternatives gain popularity.

What alternatives for solo learning exist?

People can find many options for learning English by themselves. Some of them support integrated platforms; others cooperate to provide unique materials for a better user experience. However, it’s nearly impossible to find any tool that would be fully autonomous for learning a language.

However, we can introduce one of the recently appeared mobile applications that manage the issue. It is called Langly – a free app that provides all the means for people to learn English and watch their progress. The app benefits include the following:

●it has been developed by a team of pros – people that worked on the code, design, content, and every other feature;

●the teaching method involves student immersion and turning the whole process into a game;

●the app has a clear system for you to be able to return to some sections in the future;

●all the activities have been included in the learning process (even Speaking);

●the visual novel format makes you feel more like it’s not a lesson but an interactive movie.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
