Different types of online language learning schools have different pricing policies

Although there are many online language learning schools throughout the world, lesson fees do not necessarily correlate with lesson quality.

Familiarize yourself with the different components of lesson prices, and choose the site which suits you best

An online language learning school run by language schools Joint venture between language schools and an online language learning site NihonGO!
Lesson prices Language school prices depend on the country where the school is located Fees tend to mount up Low prices by comparison
Breakdown of pricing Rent, utility costs and the costs of office staff involved in running a language school all add to the fees. The amount of remuneration distributed to the instructors varies according to the standard practice of the country where the school is located. In general, lesson costs can mount up for language schools in developed countries. Our website is not involved in the actual management of the language schools; its role is to bring in new clients for existing schools. Many language schools and managing agents use consultants. Site administrators, language schools, and consultants mean there are many staff in addition to the instructors themselves. Their costs are added in to the cost of the lessons. Our website has a direct contract with the instructors. With no intermediaries involved, no additional costs are incurred in this respect. Because our language school is online, the costs required for rent, utility costs and the salaries of the administrative staff of a language school building do not apply to us.
Instructor Language schools are restricted to using instructors resident in the country where the school is located. Depending on the country a school is in, it may sometimes have teachers with dubious qualifications on its books. Where a model with a high middle margin is used, the amount of remuneration available for the teachers is low. Some sites have a set-up whereby the instructor receives 10% of the lesson fee. For this reason, instructor quality does not always correspond to the fees charged, with respect to lesson pricing. If we leave the middle margin to one side, reducing management costs will at the same time boost the level of remuneration to instructors. The quality of the lectures has a high correlation with the quality of the instructors, and the quality of the instructors is related to the level of their remuneration. By increasing the pay available to the instructors, it is not incompatible to have both low-priced lessons and high quality instructors.

Were you able to read and write when you first started speaking?

Everyone learned to speak by listening to their parents speak. Then they learned many more words by just talking.

However, when you study a foreign language, you mainly learn how to read and write first. Why is that?

It is because it is difficult for an instructor to talk individually to all students in a class at a group lesson setting. This is the limitation of group lessons.
