Something I have noticed while teaching recently: how people study is changing fast, yet many still carry the familiar worry that learning online cannot be as effective as learning in a room.
I understand why. We are all used to the picture of teacher and student in the same room as what proper study looks like.
The opposite turns out to be true
From what I have seen with my own students, whether you improve has never been decided by the distance between you and your teacher.
What actually produces progress is whether you found the right person to guide you, whether you are being taught a sound method, and whether anyone stays alongside you for the length of the journey.
Two classrooms, two outcomes
An online class you attend consistently every week, where someone follows your work closely, corrects the small errors and notices when you have stalled: the screen has never been the obstacle there.
An in-person class where teacher and students are not really connected, where each session is a lecture until the hour runs out: however close you are sitting, very little will change.
Physical proximity is not what makes you able to speak English. The people and the method are what make the difference.
In short
English does not distinguish between online and offline. It distinguishes exactly one thing: whether you are learning the right way.
