“Before starting 51Talk lessons, my daughter loved English, but she only used it in school lessons. It didn\u2019t reflect in her daily life. As e-school learning has become more common<\/em>,<\/strong><\/em> we started looking for ways to help English become part of her everyday routine.”<\/em> These words come from U\u011fur Bey, the father of 8-year-old Derin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting Point: English Limited to the Classroom<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before starting lessons with 51Talk on May 15, Derin enjoyed her English classes at school and performed well academically. However, her use of English was limited to the classroom, which concerned her father. Even with growing discussions around e-school education, it was still difficult for her to actively use English beyond school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Awareness Gained with 51Talk<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

U\u011fur Bey explains: “\u201cAfter starting lessons with 51Talk, we noticed how much more she began using English in her daily life. In this e-school era, finding the right learning support made a real difference. I believe this laid a much stronger foundation for her.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, Derin happily sings along to her favorite English songs without hesitation. She loves her lessons with the teachers at 51Talk so much that even during the summer break\u2014when she could choose between playing, swimming, or resting\u2014she still wanted to take lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teachers from Around the World<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of our favorite aspects is the variety of teachers. “Being able to take lessons with teachers from all around the world is invaluable. Getting used to different accents and learning about diverse cultures at a young age makes us very happy.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flexible System, Comfortable Family<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

51Talk’s flexible system offers great convenience for the family. “The flexibility of the lesson cancellation policy and the protective nature for parents is a huge comfort. Being able to choose a teacher and schedule lessons whenever we want makes things so much easier.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would He Recommend It?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

U\u011fur Bey is so pleased with the experience that he has recommended 51Talk to his friends: “So far, 3 of my friends have signed up. I’ve shared with them how friendly and fun the teachers are, how easy the app is to use, and the quality of the teaching materials. This seamless and fast progress gives a lot of confidence, so I definitely recommend it to everyone.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
