In the digital age, the internet has provided English learners with unprecedented access to the Internet. Among them, learning spoken English has become the new favorite of many learners. But does this new type of learning really work? As a member of the industry, I will analyze the advantages and potential problems of learning spoken English from multiple perspectives.
1. Flexibility and convenience
*The biggest advantage of learning spoken English is undoubtedly its flexibility and convenience. Unlike traditional face-to-face classes, you don't need to be limited by time and location, as long as you have an internet connection, you can start learning anytime, anywhere. This is a huge boon for busy office workers or housewives. I personally once completed a speaking class on the commuter subway, and this way of learning has greatly improved my learning efficiency.
2. Abundant learning resources
Learning platforms typically offer a wide variety of learning resources, including tutorials, interactive exercises, simulated conversations, and more. These resources cover a variety of life scenarios and topics to help students improve their speaking skills holistically. Personally, I particularly like the lessons with real-life conversations, which allow me to practise speaking in a simulated environment and prepare for any situations that may arise.
The main factor is that there are too many people learning together, and the average time for each person to practice is too little, and the intensity of practice cannot be achieved, and the effect is very unsatisfactory, and even in some third- and fourth-tier cities, offline training class teachers are not good, and the teaching effect is not optimistic, so it is recommended that you choose an advantageous learning platform and learn in a better environment!

3. Real-time feedback and communication
*Another advantage of learning spoken English is that it provides real-time feedback and communication opportunities. In one-on-one or small class sizes, teachers can catch your pronunciation and grammar mistakes on the fly and give the right guidance. At the same time, you will also be able to communicate with other students and make progress together. I once met several friends from different countries in a group discussion class, and our communication not only improved my speaking skills, but also broadened my horizons.
4. Self-discipline and self-motivation
However, learning spoken English also has its potential problems. One of the biggest challenges is the need for extreme self-discipline and self-motivation. Without face-to-face supervision from the teacher, it is easy to relax or even give up. I've had the experience of failing in this area, sometimes with poor learning results due to a lack of planning and consistency. Therefore, if you want to try to learn, you first need to develop your self-discipline and self-motivation skills.
5. Combined with offline practice
While there are many advantages to learning spoken English, it is not a complete substitute for offline practice. Face-to-face communication with real foreigners and participation in activities such as English corners are all effective ways to improve your speaking skills. My personal experience is that applying what you have learned online to offline practice is a better way to consolidate and expand what you have learned.
Sixth, continuous motivation**
Staying motivated is the key to successful learning. It's important to find a way to keep yourself motivated. For me, setting short- and long-term goals, holding each other accountable with friends, and rewarding myself for small achievements in achieving goals are all good strategies.
*Learning spoken English is a very useful option that provides a flexible learning environment, abundant resources, and real-time communication opportunities. But it also requires us to have the ability to be self-disciplined and self-motivated, and combine offline practice to improve the learning effect. Remember, no matter which learning style you choose, it's all about persistence and practice.
