E-learning

E-learning is learning via the Internet – in this case, it refers to learning languages via the Internet.

E-learning gives you the advantage of learning a foreign language from the comfort of your own home. It enables you to practise your speaking, reading, writing and listening skills via the Internet. A multimedia computer connected to the Internet is all the essential equipment you need to start learning a foreign language.

E-learning programs offer you a choice between:

• Organized programs with a schedule and timetable (these programs are mostly high quality commercial programs, which are sometimes available 24-7 throughout the year, and very often include interactive exercises with the teachers), or
• Free Internet resources available to you whenever you are on-line (the advantage of this learning mode is that you get to set the exact time and pace of your own learning).

Both options include the costs of the Internet connection.
