Our team really enjoyed your post and would like to add one thing. Video “conferencing” in a one-on-one environment can also make for a powerful learning experience. We’ve found that students not only enjoy learning, but look forward to receiving customized learning plans based on their current level of understanding/comprehension. But like you said, if you can immerse yourself in an English speaking environment you’ll learn more quickly. Why? Because you have no choice!

All the best!
