The number of private lessons you take directly impacts your progress. More frequent lessons provide greater exposure, structured guidance, and consistent momentum, helping you learn more effectively and efficiently.
Your level of engagement during lessons is key to deeper understanding. Active participation enables your teacher to adapt the lesson to your needs, reinforces retention, and builds confidence in real-time communication.
Your personal study outside of lessons reinforces what you've learned and encourages independent application. Consistent revision, practice, and use of the language outside class can reduce your overall learning time by up to 30%.
