You can learn to speak English well!  It is easier than you think.  Nearly 87 % of English vocabulary comes from Latin, French, Germanic languages or Greek. If you already speak another European language your knowledge of English vocabulary is probably much better than you realise.  It is true that a language is more than just vocabulary, and English has certain challenges, but you can learn to master them. Whether you need English for business or pleasure, englishonthe.net can help you find a learning solution that suits you.

Successful language learning can take place in the comfort of your own home or office!

Perhaps you have already tried various self-study methods, using phrase books, CD-ROM-based courses, or online self-access learning activities.  These all have their place, but are lacking in one of the key ingredients to language learning success: a real live language helper, trainer or coach to help you set goals and motivate you.

Live online language-learning provides you with  the freedom to learn at your own pace, using authentic reading and listening materials on subjects that you are passionate about, and the regular opportunity to practice your language with a qualified trainer.

All you need is:

• A broadband Internet connection
• A headset (headphones and microphone)
• A webcam (an advantage, although not absolutely essential)

What can you expect?

A typical session includes:

• Review of language covered in the previous session.
• Extensive speaking practice on topics that interest you.
• Language input based on the specific needs identified in the sessions.
• Recommendations for self-study work to be completed between sessions.

Englishonthe.net currently offers language training in English in two online venues: Elluminate and Second Life.   The following presentation shows how each of these platforms are effectively used for language learning:
