English is an international language. It is used worldwide in almost all fields like arts, science, humanities, commerce,diplomacy, and international trade. Students should be encouraged to take up English as their second language, if not present as their mother tongue. If fluency in the language is not attained, they may face severe communication problems in their future academic as well as career endeavors.

Areas of difficulty that English learners face

It has been noted by experts that students who take up English as a second language face problems mainly in the following areas:

  • Sounds
  • Grammar
  • Pronunciations
  • Vocabulary
  • Culture
  • Idioms
  • Accents

English learners should look for tools that can help them overcome problems in these areas of language learning. Most of the students bank on the conventional language learning methods. What are those? Here is a list:

  • Enrolling in language learning classes
  • Buying and reading textbooks
  • Reading dictionaries and thesaurus
  • Reading grammar books

Issues with conventional language learning methods

Time-consuming: Most ESL students feel that it takes too long to look up a particular word in a dictionary. Checking out online tutorial videos and attending a typical language learning class also takes a considerable amount of time. They often need to take out time from their already busy schedule to enroll in such a class. Sometimes, students often stop attending such classes midway! Moreover, just attending such classes is not enough, they need to revise and practice the lessons at home, which again, take time.

Boring, lacks proper references: When reading a dictionary, can you directly refer to real-life conversations or listen to actual voice? No! Dictionaries are just pages and pages of words and meanings, which is tiring and uninteresting to students. There are only a few students who actually sit down to read a dictionary. Moreover, these conventional tools come with limited context-based references. Conventional language learning methods also lack solutions for practical vocabulary building.

Costly methods are not preferable: Expensive language learning methods are deterrents for students. Buying costly language learning textbooks, dictionaries, and audio tapes are not feasible solutions. Parents are often not willing to spend a lot of money on learning English.
