"Even 51Talk don't know how you learn English?"

--51talk's three anniversary student story just announced the completion of the C-round financing of the 51Talk-free English online three years ago. As a high cost performance of the civilian English speaking online teaching institutions, "grassroots" born in the 51Talk three years have experienced twists and turns, there have been happy and touched the moment. This three years by virtue of Word-of-mouth gradually into the tens of thousands of households 51Talk can adhere to today, are because of the stick to learn the lovely users. In the process of visiting senior users, a versatile child walks into the staff's heart. Zhou, six years old this year. When I first met her, I felt she was a little Beijing girl who loved to laugh and move like a child of her age. However, her long hair, slightly sunken bright eyes and newsboys newsboys blinking long eyelashes are still so different. "Are you a foreigner?" "In the face of enthusiastic questions, Zhou in Grandpa's arms shyly answered, Dad is British, she still remember that she was three years old in China." 51Talk helped both the teaching and the learner save a lot of money and time costs, and his grandfather said it was a big help. His father and mother attaches great importance to her English study, as the British do not speak English that joke is not big! Learning English is the process of interaction, but her father and mother are very busy at work, it is impossible to spend an hour every day chatting with her around the child. In this way, the English-speaking environment is hard to find. First to Zhou to find foreign teachers to the home class, about three hundred or four hundred yuan a class, to remove tuition fees, but also for the teacher out of the transportation costs, and we obtained about 45 minutes of teaching. The teachers were so busy that they were all in a hurry, and much of their time was delayed on the way. We have also been to a lot of remedial classes, high cost, short training time, the possibility of achieving one-on-one is very small, more than a pair of seven or eight, a pair of five or six of classroom teaching, no learning effect. "Grandpa sigh, a lot of people think Week week English good very normal, she is English." But only the family know, the child's English is completely studied in China, she is spent a lot of effort to learn English, many children of the same age have not read the reading she has read, also in 51Talk every day to complete the teacher assigned homework. "I do not believe that the rapid English propaganda, do not practice enough those hours, it is impossible to learn English." Even if you are British, you say you do not read English words English is very good, it is unlikely. In 51Talk, Zhou finally found the most suitable learning environment. Grandpa is happy to talk about the weeks now learning oral English all depend on her own. "We used the 51Talk free class test, did not expect to learn not only very good, children also like this model, but also very cheap." The impact of the Internet on children today is very large, children use computer to watch like the animated cartoon sitting, now using the Internet to learn, children as entertainment, but also sitting. Now she treats English lessons on the internet as a happy thing. Originally is presses the child to sit there to read, now an English class, she put the chair to sit there waiting, the teacher a call to come, her own point, we completely without tube。 Now she is two classes attached, she does not feel boring. "So now, weeks Grandpa has recommended a lot of children in the community to 51Talk learning English." He said he would say to them: "You do not even know 51Talk how you learn English ah?" "The internet makes everything possible," Nadine, a senior Philippine foreign teacher in 51Talk, said in an interview. We believe that it is best to use the Internet for one-on-one learning. We can devote 100% of our time and attention to a classmate. Teaching English is my job, but I feel that I am not finishing my work at all. "Teachers get a sense of achievement, students get happy, efficient and convenient courses, all based on trust." Let everyone in it get happiness, this is also three years, including in the future on the road, 51Talk has been adhering to the source and power. 51Talk lets tens of millions of Chinese "want to learn" English, "can learn" the dream of English, also certainly will carry the dream of all users, continue to sail.
