Today it is difficult to find an Internet user who would not know about the existence of such a program as Skype. Usually this application is associated with free Internet connection and video conferencing. In addition to free Internet telephony, group chats and file sharing, Skype has other useful features that are far from known to all users.
For example, study English via Skype with a native speaker for free. How can this be put into practice? After all, it is not very polite to directly address any English-speaking Skype user and demand communication.
How to find an English-speaking interlocutor on Skype
This possibility is already provided and all problems are solved! Proceed with the following plan.
There, in the Skype community, you can find an interlocutor of a native speaker that you are studying, and there are also special language clubs. You will learn a language with an Englishman, and in gratitude this foreigner will learn your language - after all, are you also a native speaker of your native language? And someone in other countries is very interested in your ability to speak your language perfectly and absolutely without an accent.
Alternative language learning via Skype
If you just enter the phrase in Google search English via Skype, then you will be offered other options for learning languages outside the Skype community. These are various online language schools or courses where a limited number of Skype lessons will be offered free of charge. After completing a free course, you may want to continue studying for money.
The advantage of paid education is that business is taken seriously here. You can chat for free on Skype with an English-speaking interlocutor for years and never master free speech. And professional schools use special methods to master the language in the shortest possible time. In general, the choice is huge and, if desired, you can find courses for communicating the language that are suitable for the level of knowledge at minimal cost or even completely without payment.

5 Achieving a result
Throughout the path of learning English online at Skyeng, your main guide is the teacher. It both motivates you and adjusts the process of learning English online according to your characteristics so that you reach your goal. And the quality of the teacher's work is controlled by the methodologist.
The goals that our students set for themselves, you will also achieve.
Effective!
English courses on Skype are in no way inferior in effectiveness to individual lessons with a tutor: you also see and hear the teacher. Moreover, online lessons have a number of advantages. For example, a teacher sends you teaching materials via Skype already at the first lesson. In addition, the teacher immediately corrects your mistakes in the chat. After class, 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, as well as subsequently evaluate your progress in learning the language. Also, during the study, the teacher can show you exercises and teaching materials on his computer.
Conveniently!
Skype English lessons are a new level of online education, when students do not need to come for a prearranged time for a short lesson, so that later they can spend time on the road again. Time is money, so Skype courses will allow you not only to save money, but also to effectively distribute your free time.
It is a two-way process. Its result depends, on the one hand, on the teacher and the organization of the educational process, and, in the case of foreign language learners via Skype, on the right materials. On the other hand, much depends on the correct perception of information, the interest and abilities of the student himself.
Thinking about what settings should be given to a student learning another language, so that, for his part, he can simplify and speed up the learning process, we decided to write an article of 10 most important points that everyone who wants to learn a foreign language should adhere to.
1. When learning a foreign language, take your time
So, first of all, I would like to make it clear to every person interested in the language that a foreign language should be learned slowly. If you think that a language can be learned in six months, then we hasten to dissuade you from this. Alas, in half a year you will not start talking and will not be able to translate into a foreign language all the information accumulated over your life, which so far exists only in Russian. Set yourself up for a lengthy study of several years if you really want to master the language. Only long and stable exercises will give a good result. In order to master only one of the levels of a foreign language (A1, A2, B1, etc.), you need to study at least 3 months hard enough and, at the same time, devote time to the language almost every day.
Of course, in six months the teacher can give all the necessary and most complete information, but the student is not able to assimilate it and consolidate it.
At the same time, it is important to understand that learning foreign languages via Skype is not as common as it usually happens in language courses offered by various schools in your city. The intensive course is a very short language course, which makes it attractive, but it is based on an incomplete, shortened program. Such a course serves only to achieve some specific goals: for example, for a trip to Spain for 10 days, where knowledge of only a reduced vocabulary and a very narrow understanding of grammar will be required.
2. Practice consistently
Classes must be stable. Even if you study a foreign language for six months without stopping, and then interrupt classes for a month, several months of your studies can be considered in vain. In addition, when you resume classes, you lose time repeating forgotten material and restoring the skills acquired in six months.
If you learn foreign languages with great inconsistency and breaks, no teachers and modern methods will be able to help you realize your goals to the fullest.
On the other hand, when you often skip classes, you can’t figure out any topic, you are marking time in the same place, you will constantly get bored with learning the language. Make it so that the classes are constant, and, seeing your results, it will become even more interesting for you to study.
3. Practice as much as possible on your own.
Another key to successful learning of a foreign language is persistent self-study. The greatest responsibility for the effectiveness of learning lies with the student - memorization of the material, understanding and assimilation of information. To do this, it is necessary to devote a lot of time to independent development of educational material, constantly work on memorizing vocabulary and grammatical structures, and hone verb conjugations.
The well-known sports method “shadow boxing” also helps a lot in learning the language. It implies that you must say each new word or phrase out loud several times and reinforce them in sentences invented on the go. Improvise and talk to yourself. Take a standard grammatical construction and build sentences of the same type from it, substituting different words. And all this without the help of textbooks or certain assignments - do it for yourself. This method is very effective, and using it, you will feel the results very soon.
4. Tidy up your knowledge
When you learn a foreign language, your desk, as well as your head, must be in perfect order. Cleaning your room and your workplace is of course not the subject of foreign language teaching methods, but, nevertheless, try to avoid chaos and disorder and get used to neatness. We, as teachers of a foreign language, are more concerned about the order in your heads. Follow this order. Maintaining order in your head means trying to understand each topic covered, reinforcing it, not forgetting past lessons and not allowing your level of knowledge to decrease.
The learning process is a gradual process. Language materials are presented according to the principle "from simple to complex". If you miss any important point and lose the right link, you can very easily get confused in such an extensive material. Try not to get confused and not lose the thread. Your knowledge should be strictly organized and placed on the right shelves.
5. Always repeat every topic
Always review past material and never forget what you have gone through before. Even if you are learning a language for the second year, still go back to the very first lessons and repeat them. It is not enough that you do the exercises correctly and quickly pick up new material. When learning a foreign language, it is very important to take on the information in your mind, and this is achieved over time, like the domestication of wild cattle. To tame a foreign language is possible only by constantly repeating and repeating the material covered many times.
6. Always write down important information
If you hear a new word or expression, be sure to write it down in your notebook. For this, it is not necessary to start a separate dictionary. All information can be entered into one workbook, which you use in the classroom. Do not forget to review these words with expressions from time to time so that they are in your active stock. Remember that every new word learned is a stepping stone on the way to free speech in a foreign language.
If you suddenly remembered some long-forgotten or accidentally heard word, but you can’t remember its meaning, read something new in a book - don’t be lazy, be sure to write it down!
7. Don't be afraid of difficulties
People who study a foreign language are often afraid to start reading books in the original, watching films in the language, etc. This is due to their lack of confidence in their knowledge and abilities, because of the thought that they will not understand anything. Such people should cast aside all their doubts and include a film in a foreign language. Watch, read and be interested in what you have not yet passed. After all, you will not persistently refuse to talk, for example, with a Spaniard in Spain, explaining your reluctance to speak by the fact that you have not been learning Spanish for very long.
If you do not know some words while reading a book, use a dictionary. If you didn’t hear or understand something while watching the movie, review this moment several times.
Don't be afraid to go where you don't have much knowledge yet.
8. Don't be afraid to start conversations with foreigners
Another phobia associated with insecurity in one's knowledge makes itself felt when confronted face to face with a foreigner and the need to communicate with him in his language. We want to inspire you right away: they are not used to laughing at those who make mistakes by speaking their language. Any of your knowledge will be perceived by him very positively, do not hesitate. You don't have to try to imitate the pace of his speech and get nervous if you can't speak as fluently. Communication should be of interest to you, not stress.
9. Don't speak Russian with foreign words
A foreign language is not exactly mathematics. Sometimes it seems that the main principle of learning a foreign language is to memorize grammatical constructions and then substitute different words to form sentences. Some even think that instead of Russian words, you just need to substitute foreign ones, and thus foreign speech will flow from your mouth like a stream of fresh air at dawn. No, this is absurd.
10. Never give up
Do not think that learning a foreign language is highly dependent on age. No. If you are interested in the language and follow all of our tips, you are sure to reach a good level, regardless of your age or anything else. We know that in learning a foreign language, as in any other human activity, there are ups and downs. Set yourself up for the fact that not everything and not always will be easy at once, but be sure that any person can learn a foreign language and cope with all the difficulties. Maybe someday it will not be very exciting and even boring to study, there will be a lot of doubts about your abilities - do not despair and remember that if you want, you will always have a result!
