Why I prefer 30 or 45, instead of 60 minutes sessions
I've had more than 100 English online sessions so far, and after all that I've come to the conclusion that, at least for me, shorter than 60 minutes sessions are better. I'm not sure about other students, but I feel a bit tired at the end of one hour sessions, and I think that, perhaps, that also happens to other people, because, as far as I know, in most places, and different types of schools and courses, classes usually last 50 min, and then there is a break of 10 min utill the next class.
I've read some articles about that on the internet, too, and it seems that a large number of students can't keep attentive enough for more than 45/50 minutes. Maybe this is the reason for 50 min classes being commonplace.
I'd like to hear Italki teachers about that, please. Thank you.

This is really good to get a student's perspective of the attention span. I'm curious, now, how other students feel about this. As a teacher, I do need a break between hour-long classes. Just a few minutes can sometimes be okay, but after the second hour, I'm feeling a little tired. Maybe the 50 minute class would be a good idea for both student and teacher.

But language lessons are different from studying mathematics. I think it is more casual. Not me but I see girls enjoy chatting with friends for hours without break.

Hmmm. Interesting observation. I will say more, but I have a class in 15 minutes. I do want to say more about this, though.
