Distance learning English via Skype. Is learning English via Skype effective? How to find a good school and teacher

When love sweeps us off our feet, we say sincere and tender things, think with our hearts and act naively. When you are truly in love, cherished words seem to be the most difficult words in life. What if the person is not impressed by your confession, or, worse, it’s only about the friendzone? It's better to be rejected than to bottle up your feelings. Why? Because you will be able to know whether the relationship will develop in the right direction or not. A simple and timeless “I love you” is enough... Or is it not enough?

Big and friendly EnglishDom family

Love me tender, love me sweet...

When studying English, it is impossible to ignore the topic of love. We all know that “many songs have been written about love,” and in all the languages ​​of the world. Poets, writers, composers, singers, artists - they all sing and glorify this wonderful feeling in their work.

Of course, love can be different - for parents and for children, for animals and nature, for the homeland and hometown. However, most of all they talk and write about the love of a man and a woman - romantic or tragic, happy and unhappy.

A declaration of love, especially if it comes from a loved one, can inspire and “lift to heaven.” Although, it is worth noting that in ordinary life people very rarely talk to each other about their feelings in their native language, let alone a foreign one.

If you are one of those people who easily and happily talk about their love, and at the same time study English, you will probably be curious to know how to confess your love in English so that your loved one understands the depth of your feelings? Don't you think that a simple “I love you” will be enough?

And it’s right that you don’t think so. In fact, in English there are many ways to express your tender feelings.

Let's confess our love in English

The easiest way to learn to talk about love in English is from English songs.

For example, Elvis Presley’s famous song “Love me tender” contains a full set of the most tender and reverent phrases about love.

What is it worth: “You have made my life complete.” Which translated into Russian will sound something like this: you filled my life with meaning.

Or: “All my dreams fulfilled” - all my dreams came true.

We talk a lot about dreams in our love confessions. The most common phrases:

You are my dream – You are a dream of mine (You are my dream).

You made all my dreams come true.

You are my dream come true.

I dream about you - I dream about you.

Of course, when declaring our love, we are not only talking about dreams. But also about fate, life, about everything in the world.

You are my destiny, you are my happiness. It is with these phrases that Paul Anka declares his love in a popular song.

I will always (eternally) love you – I will always love you, remember Whitney Houston’s song from the movie “The Bodyguard”?

I will love you till the end of time.

Most often, we say, in love/head over heels in love. There is an idiom in the English language that, if literally translated into Russian, will sound very funny, but it will help you express your emotions in in this case— I fell head over heels in love with him/her.

If you are more restrained in expressing your feelings, you can say it more simply - I fell in love (I fell in love).

Is it about love at first sight? It is a first sight love.

Do you want to say that your whole life is in him (her)? He (she) is all my life.

About love and separation

If you are separated from your loved one and miss you terribly, the equally famous song “I'm mad about you” performed by Sting will help you express your feelings, or, as we would say in Russian, I'm going away from you (for you) crazy, I'm crazy about you. This is perhaps one of the most beautiful and popular songs about love and separation.

I’m lost without you – Sting sings. This can be translated into Russian in different ways: I am lost without you (I am dying), I miss you, I feel bad without you, etc.

Of course, not everyone can and wants to talk about love in poetry. And even if you just tell your loved one - I miss you so much, I miss you terribly), he will understand how bad you feel without him.

Or you can say with beautiful phrases from a song by pop musician Haddaway, known to millions of people:

I miss you more than words can say - I miss you more than words can express.

I’m gonna need you more and more each day - I need you more and more every day.

Don't be afraid to talk about your feelings! Love is wonderful. Are you embarrassed to confess your feelings in Russian? Learn to do this in English from popular songs and with our help and love each other!

Today it is difficult to find an Internet user who would not know about the existence of such a program as Skype. This application is usually associated with free Internet communications and video conferencing. In addition to free Internet telephony, group chats and file sharing, the Skype program also has other useful features that are not known to all users.

For example - study English via Skype with a native speaker for free. How can this be implemented in practice? After all, it is not very polite to directly contact any English-speaking Skype user and demand communication.

Dear readers!

I've been studying via Skype for six months now. If it weren’t for my husband, who kept telling me about Skype for about a year, and the BP website, who sent me an application for distance learning during the summer holidays, when there weren’t many students, I probably would never have started. I was scared by everything - from buying headphones with a microphone and the technical side of the lesson to how I would look on camera?

Preparing for such classes at first took more than two hours, choosing the right board, looking for all sorts of additional programs for lessons. How I prepared (and am preparing) for classes via Skype:

1) After testing, I choose a textbook in accordance with the age and level of the student.

2) I determine the purpose of each lesson and what skills we will develop.

3) I select material for a specific lesson, throwing out everything from the book that I don’t like and adding my own.

But now, when preparing a lesson, I feel like I’m in the shoes of the authors of the textbook, and sometimes my imagination runs wild so much that you regret that there are only 24 hours in a day, otherwise I would have done such a lesson!

Technologies

As for the technical side of training via Skype, I use the virtual whiteboard Idroo, it costs relatively inexpensively - 10 euros per month. You can also use it for free, but then you are allowed to create only 10 boards. If you have one online student, this is enough. And if you study en masse, it’s better to pay for a subscription.

Some teachers study without virtual boards, simply cut out the necessary exercises from the textbook and send them to the student, but, in my opinion, the board is much more convenient. Let's take a look at it:

On the blue panel at the top there are tools that allow you (from left to right) to move images and inscriptions, draw with a pencil, underline, highlight in a frame, write, create formulas (I’ve never used this, but who knows), erase material and move the board, and also use a pointer to show the student where to look for the hamster.

The most fun thing for me in Idroo is to draw and draw in class; joint creativity unites and relaxes as much as a cup of tea. The first picture shows a dictation based on the words studied and wordsearch compiled using this site. The second picture is training of the there is/there are structure using an image of a room, and then reproducing it using the written clue words. Most teenagers take such tasks with a bang, but many adults suffer and blush while trying to scribble a cat on the board.

There is a chat available on the right side of the Idroo panel, but I don’t use it, I write everything directly on the board. There is also a call function, but I have never used that either.

Even at the beginning of my Skype journey, I tried the virtual board Realtimeboard, it has a nicer interface and has more features - you can upload both video and audio there, it is constantly updated and improved. It turned out to be a little difficult for my students, so I switched to Idroo. Now I'm going to return to Realtimeboard, because it offers more fun for the same money.

Update: I no longer use Idroo for classes, now I'm working on Realtimeboard, you can read it here.

I also use the learningapps application for online lessons, in which I create exercises to repeat the material - wordsearches, crosswords and matching exercises.

You can prepare/cut tracks for online classes (I cut online), select videos from Youtube. It all depends on the needs of the student and the flight of your imagination.

Pros and cons

As you can see, an online lesson provides more opportunities to use modern technologies. And another huge plus is tea with cookies in a cozy kitchen... oh, that is, the student’s eyes do not run wild from the stacks of papers printed out for class, he does not ask “why don’t we do this in the book?”, does not leaf through the textbook 2 minutes, remembering how in Russian this cursed page one hundred and thirty-five is (although searching for a page has its own plus). All necessary material is displayed on the board, which the student can view after the lesson (if the teacher has not deleted it, of course).

Otherwise, an English lesson via Skype is not much different from a “live” lesson. It’s a little more exhausting, but that’s me personally; many friends say that Skype works better for them.

The easiest way to learn English online is with adults 20-35 years old. Few children under 12 know a computer well, so sometimes you have to be distracted during class to explain how to turn on a track, find a Skype chat, or view a sent picture. But not all adults are also familiar with technology; even those who spend days on social networks may not know how to open a link that was sent to them in a chat. Some people are embarrassed by their computer illiteracy, so here you still need to be patient and delicate in your explanation.

If it’s really difficult for a student, you can ask to show your screen on Skype (that button in the form of a plus sign) and tell them how to register on the board or find this or that tool on the panel.

Prices

Studying via Skype is usually cheaper than studying in person. And not only because both the student and the teacher do not spend time or money on travel, do not print anything and do not buy textbooks. Price dumping by teachers from the regions also has an impact. Prices for English lessons in the regions are much lower than prices in big cities, sometimes by a factor of 5. Therefore, lessons via Skype for teachers from the periphery are very profitable. Same as for the student.

Do you teach students via Skype?

What technologies do you use for these activities?

I look forward to your comments!

Effective!
English courses via Skype are no less effective than individual lessons with a tutor: you also see and hear the teacher. Moreover, online lessons have a number of advantages. For example, the teacher sends you educational materials via Skype already in the first lesson. In addition, the teacher immediately corrects your mistakes in the chat. After classes you can fix new words and expressions.

Modern!
Online English courses have a number of advantages compared to classical classes. For example, a teacher can record a lesson with you. Viewing the recording will allow you to understand your mistakes in pronunciation, and also subsequently evaluate your progress in learning the language. Also, during the study, the teacher can show you exercises and educational materials on his computer.

Comfortable!
English lessons via Skype are a new level of online education, when students do not need to come for a conditional time for a short lesson and then waste time on the road again. Time is money, so courses via Skype will allow you not only to save money, but also to effectively distribute your free time.
