Is the Direct Method suitable for absolute beginners?

Yes, this method is extremely suitable for absolute beginners or people who have studied the language, but they lack any speaking skills. The system begins with elementary words and phrases that become more complicated up the levels. It is easy to study using the Direct Method, because the student does not write homework and the words are not written either, and they are translated and written in vocabularies, which are given to the students at the beginning of the course.

In addition to teaching grammar and vocabulary, our teachers also focus on useful conversational topics that are applicable to students’ interests, careers and everyday lives. This allows learners of all levels to quickly apply what they learn inside the classroom to real-life scenarios. We make sure that every sentence, activity and topic builds towards fluency.

Concretely, what happens in an online class?

After scheduling an online class, you will be able to join the class with 2-4 fellow students from around the world. The teacher will introduce themselves and begin teaching the lesson using learning materials that you can download at the end of class. During the class, we encourage you to interact not only with the materials and the teacher but also with the students. Towards the end of class, the teacher will recap the lesson and ensure everybody has understood the lesson.

🤔 Online class experience

Will the teachers correct my mistakes?

Everyone makes mistakes, that’s how we learn. Our classes are intentionally small (3-5 students) so that you can not only practice speaking and receive personalized feedback, but learn from mistakes that other students are making as well. Your teacher will make sure that everyone has time to practice reading out loud, answering questions and conversing with one another. And if you want more personal feedback (e.g. to improve your personal cover letter or learn the most difficult grammar topics), you can always sign up for an additional private class by purchasing extra credits in your account. Our teacher's goal is to increase intrinsic motivation and by doing so the verbal communications as well.

How do I reschedule a class

Rescheduling is not possible, but you can cancel a class without losing the credit seven days in advance of the lesson. Alternatively, you can immediately cancel the class within 30 minutes of booking even if it is less than seven days until the class starts. You will immediately get your credit back, so you can then book a class for a more convenient time.

How can I make the most out of my class?

Check your internet connection, mic and audio settings 15 minutes before the class starts. Download the learning materials before the class and go through them. Have a glass of water or juice ready as you’ll talk a lot during class! A quiet room or workspace will help you to concentrate.

If my class starts slightly later or finishes earlier, will I be disqualified ?

No. Rarely a teacher or a student may be a few minutes late or may have to leave a few minutes early. As long as you do not miss more than 10 minutes of a class, you will not be disqualified.

Is it suitable for my language level and learning goal?

Delphin Center offers learning plans that cater to all types of language learners, from beginner to advanced. Our modules are structured according to CEFR, which stands for Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. It is an internationally recognised framework that describes language ability from A1-C2 (A1 beginner and moving up to C2 fluent). Once you are a registered Lingoda student, you can define your current CEFR level by taking our free placement test before you begin learning.

Will I have enough time for learning?

Our group classes are available online 24/7 and are taught by teachers who are located across all time zones, so you can create a schedule that works for you. Take classes from anywhere, any time

Why should I learn with Delphin and not other school?

The key difference between Delphin and other schools is that Delphin fits your busy schedule: you can take a class anytime and from anywhere. But otherwise, you can think of as a traditional and online school. All our teachers are highly qualified, certified and follow a learning plan that has been designed by language experts.

What is the teachers goal?

Our teacher's goal is to increase intrinsic motivation and by doing so the verbal communication in the classroom is increasing. The more that communication amongst the students is encouraged the more enjoyable the students will find the experience and the more motivated they will become as they begin realizing their language study goals.

🚀 Learning Progress

How long will it take to improve my language skills?

It depends. As is the case when learning any new skill, your progress depends on your efforts. If you would like to learn quickly, then we suggest that you make language learning a consistent habit. Also focus and participate in class and complete the downloadable materials at the end of each class for best results. It also depends on which Delphin plan you choose, as some of our plans are more intensive than others.

I used to learn with a private tutor. Will I really progress with a group?

Definitely! There are several benefits to learning in a group setting. Firstly, you can practice speaking with your teacher and other classmates. Secondly, you will not only learn from correcting your own mistakes, but from recognizing and the mistakes of other students as well. But we offer private classes too, should you want some extra one-on-one time for practicing with a native-speaking teacher and receiving more personalized feedback.

Will I receive something to show my learning progress?

Yes! You receive a certificate for each CEFR level that you complete with Delphin. Our certificates are issued in accordance with CEFR and are accepted by many institutions worldwide. Through our collaboration with Cambridge Assessment English, we also offer our English learners the opportunity to complete the Cambridge original test.
