Online English lessons

Dear friends,

One day I have decided to improve my English.

English is my third language after Russian and Hebrew.

I have good confidence in speaking, although I make a lot of grammar mistakes

However I experience some difficulties in understanding Native speakers by phone ( during endless conference calls ) and I wish to see TV in English and understand everything

I have started from visiting several companies in Tel Aviv.
These companies promised to significantly improve my English for $2-3k in a half a year.

I didn't like the idea to pay the whole sum in advance and wasn't sure I can spend 4-5 hours a week for these courses for a long time.

I am married, almost 40 years old, with 2 kids a lot of work  and some business travel.
Add to this 2-3 vacations, some holidays. I can't commit for every week learning for such long time

So I decided to look what we have in online world.
I have heard about the experience of some people learning English through the Skype and decided to check this possibility

I did several days research and found that for 5-20$ per 60 minutes it is possible to find a Native speaking teacher.

I would like to share the Preply.com site where I have registered and started to take lessons

Currently I am taking my 5th online lesson with Native speaking English teacher and for 8$ per hour it seems pretty well.

I do such lesson once a week and don't need to commit for every week online meeting.

I'll be glad to get feedback about this site and recommendations for others as well.

Good luck with it!

J :)
