How many hours of study do you need to move to the next level of English?
Everybody is different and we all have different needs, different goals and different reasons for learning English. If you are an experienced language learner and a polyglot, it can be easier for you to know what to do, how to do it, how much to do it and how often to do it to make progress to the next level.
✔️
Even polyglots say that they like learning with a teacher/language coach. Lýdia Machová (a famous polyglot) advocates independent study but she also used an italki teacher for learning Swahili (I think that's the language she was learning with an italki tutor but it may be a different one. I do remember her saying she studies with an online Italki tutor).
😊
Language teachers have been trained to get the most out of every text, recording, conversation or even picture to help you make the quickest progress. You are still the ones setting your goals, they just show you how to get there and guide you through activities that will get you there. Your goal may be to become fluent, reach C2 level or just to get from your level to the next level. Or maybe you just want to be comfortable talking as a tourist in which case your goal may be much easier achieved.
📅
Generally, the guidelines for how many focused hours of study you need to move to the next level are: around 200 hours. (more on this here: <a href="https://support.cambridgeenglish.org/hc/en-gb/articles/202838506-Guided-learning-hours?fbclid=IwAR2Kk4-axET6IQ2c7ZVkjDdFZDO4BY1Z7XscVGb9kfwtNCjqSE20OP7ExeQ" target="_blank">https://support.cambridgeenglish.org/hc/en-gb/articles/202838506-Guided-learning-hours?fbclid=IwAR2Kk4-axET6IQ2c7ZVkjDdFZDO4BY1Z7XscVGb9kfwtNCjqSE20OP7ExeQ</a>) This is active learning time not just watching a movie. These are exercises designed to improve either your vocabulary or grammar or speaking or writing or reading or listening - usually one or two are the main focus of each exercise.
What is your English goal? How are you getting there?
💬
Remember, if you just use English passively by watching content and listening/reading, chances are you will stay at your level (this is still great, it means you will not lose the skills you already have) but you may not progress to the next level. And of course, if you just read and listen but don't speak, you will lose the speaking level that you have now because only speaking keeps your speaking skills strong. You need to work on ALL your skills and do something every day or a minimum of 2-3 times a week to achieve results. You can do it by yourself if you know how, you can work with a teacher or you can ask your teacher to train you to do it independently but then just remember you have to ve VERY disciplined, do it regularly and track your progress by yourself.

Que fais-je, habituellement, dans une journée ?
Merci beaucoup pour corrige ce texte. c’est vraiment difficile de écrire en française mais, je voudrais pratiquer.
Je me lève à sept heures le matin. Je bois une café. A 8 heures, j’écris dans mon « bullet journall » - je fais des plans pour la journée. Depuis, je prends le petit-déjeuner et à huit heures, je commence à planifier mes leçons. Je travaille pendant une heure et depuis, je fais une pause (de quinze minutes).
Je continue et je travaille une heure plus. A onze heures et demie, je mange quelque chose- j’ai une collation. Un smoothie ou quelque chose d’autre.
de midi à deux heures j'enseigne 2 cours d'anglais. Je fais une pause a deux pour déjeuner. Je lis, écris ou je regards un peu du YouTube. De 3 a 5, je enseigne 2 autre cours d’anglais.
A 5.30 je finis a travailler.
Apres le travail, je fais beaucoup de chose. Je suis en train du faire un cours de « Life Coaching Training » pour devenir un « Life Coach » et je fais mes devoirs pour ca.
Avant de dormir, je aime regarde un peux de Netflix. Maintenant, je suis en train de regarde « Our Planet » et « Dead to me ».

S'il vous plaît , pouvez-vous corriger ce texte? Je suis en train de prépare une vidéo en français..
Je parle aussi français. Donc, si vous êtes débutant, vous pouvez m’expliquer en français vos objectifs et vos raisons pour apprendre l'anglais . Par exemple, je voudrais apprendre l'anglais pour mon nouveau travail ou bien pour parler avec mes amis anglophones.
Mais pendant la leçon il n’est pas nécessaire de parler Francais. Au début de chacune, nous apprendrons quelque chose de nouveau, quelques mots, ou une nouvelle règle de grammaire. Nous passerons ensuite le reste de la leçon à mettre en pratique ce que nous avons appris en conversation. Ainsi, vous aurez tous les mots dont vous avez besoin pour la leçon et je peux vous aider à exprimer quelque chose si vous ne connaissez pas le mot juste.

Me pueden ajudar? Estoy preparando un nuevo texto para mi video en español.
También entiendo español. Entonces, si eres un principiante, puedes contarme en español tus objetivos y tus razones para aprender inglés. Por ejemplo, quiero aprender inglés para mi nuevo trabajo o porque quiero hablar con mis amigos que hablan inglés.
Pero no necesitarás hablar español en las lecciones. Ya verás. Al comienzo de cada lección aprenderemos algo nuevo, algunas palabras nuevas y alguna regla de gramática. Y luego, pasaremos el resto de la lección practicando lo que aprendimos en la conversación. Así tendrás todas las palabras que necesitas para la lección. Puedo ayudarte a explicar algo si no sabes cómo se dice en inglés.
Creo que aprendemos mejor cuando la lección es personal y divertida y cuando tenemos objetivos claros. Si eso te parece bien, empecemos.

Puoi aiutarmi a migliorare il mio testo italiano per il mio video? Grazie!
Capisco anche l'italiano. Quindi, se sei un principiante, puoi dirmi in italiano i tuoi obiettivi e le tue ragioni per imparare l'inglese. Ad esempio, voglio imparare l'inglese per il mio nuovo lavoro o perché voglio parlare con i miei amici di lingua inglese.
Ma non avrai bisogno di parlare italiano nelle lezioni. Vedrai. All'inizio di ogni lezione impareremo qualcosa di nuovo, alcune parole nuove e alcune regole grammaticali. E poi, passeremo il resto della lezione a praticare ciò che abbiamo imparato in conversazione. Quindi avrai tutte le parole che ti servono per la lezione. Posso aiutarti a spiegare qualcosa se non sai come si dice in inglese. Credo che impariamo meglio quando la lezione è personale e divertente e quando abbiamo in mente obiettivi chiari. Se per te va bene, iniziamo.
