Active and outgoing King has shown remarkable progress in English after nearly a year of learning at 51Talk. After comparing various options, his mom chose 51Talk for its flexible class times, high-quality foreign teachers, and the positive interactions between King and his teacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online Learning: Flexible and Efficient<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Due to their busy work schedules, King’s parents wanted a learning method that would fit seamlessly into their child’s life and school curriculum. Online classes provide the perfect solution, offering the flexibility to schedule lessons around their lifestyle. Additionally, 51Talk’s teacher rating system helped King’s mom quickly find the right teacher, offering personalized lessons that made the learning process more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Reluctance to Confidence: Speaking Skills Take a Huge Leap<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At first, King wasn’t very receptive to all-English lessons and often wanted to switch to Chinese. However, after studying with 51Talk, he gradually built his confidence and started speaking English on his own. Now, as a first grader, not only does King excel in English, but he also tries to read English out loud whenever he sees it. His speaking skills have improved dramatically. He can share everyday stories in English and even discuss daily topics with his teacher in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driven by Interest, Learning with Joy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

King loves his 51Talk lessons and looks forward to his bi-weekly classes. He excitedly shares stories about new toys in English and even playfully “complains” about being punished by his parents. The teachers manage the classroom well while creating a relaxed atmosphere, allowing King to learn and grow happily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remarkable Progress: From Cartoons to CNN News<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now, King can communicate comfortably in English, no longer resisting English cartoons. He can even understand and summarize CNN news! Once, after watching a special report on tornadoes, he eagerly explained the content to his parents, leaving them amazed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professional Service, Giving Parents Peace of Mind<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

King’s mom especially appreciates the class teacher system at 51Talk, which provides immediate analysis of King’s progress and offers helpful suggestions. The teacher rating and course continuity features also give her peace of mind. She has already recommended 51Talk to several friends, saying, “Just one look at the class screen, and you can feel the platform’s dedication.” Moving forward, 51Talk will continue to support King’s joyful learning journey, helping him spread his wings!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
