2021-08-30 11:06:47 Близится День Знаний, и, хотя мы давно закончили школу, постоянное обучение стало нормой для современного человека. Второй нормой стало знание английского языка, ведь все самые главные новости публикуются сначала на английском, да и для обучения больше всего информации тоже на нем. Однако, что делать, если вы учите язык уже давно, пора практиковаться, а не с кем? Как раз для таких случаев был создан международный сервис по подбору репетиторов-носителей английского Cambly.com

В Cambly вы просто общаетесь один-на-один, при этом вы не привязаны к одному преподавателю, и сами выбираете частоту, программу и длительность занятий - от 15 минут в день. Вы можете просто разговаривать на общие темы, а можете взять подготовку к международным экзаменам - TOEFL и IELTS. Можно найти репетитора с нужным акцентом и общими увлечениями, чтобы вам точно было о чем поговорить. А еще можно найти человека с опытом от IT до пчеловодства и попросить его научить тому, что важно именно в этой отрасли.

Сервис Cambly предоставляет всем подписчикам этого канала возможность попробовать такой формат уроков бесплатно. Просто проходите по ссылке и регистрируйтесь. Вводить платежные данные для этого не нужно.

По промокоду phvi10 вы получите 10 бесплатных минут для теста сервиса а также скидку 40% на годовые занятия. Попробуйте сами! Open / Comment
