What I love about taking lessons
I’m very vocal about the fact that I take online language lessons on italki, and as such, one of my most-asked questions is advice on how to find the right online language tutor. This post will go into detail about tips on how to choose a tutor that suits your language learning needs, what to look out for when booking a tutor, and how to have a successful first lesson.

About three years ago, I was a somewhat opposed to taking online lessons. I thought that self-study was the way to go for language learning!
As I started working life and becoming more busy, I realized that I really enjoy the idea of having a tutor as they can plan a language curriculum for me. It takes the pressure away from having to plan my own language learning. There’s always somebody who I can practice speaking with. and tutors can give me homework or activities that are very specifically suited to the skills I need to work on.
