Frequently asked questions
Is English hard to learn?
The basics come quickly because English has few word endings to memorize. Spelling, phrasal verbs, and the many ways to talk about time take longer, and they are where most practice pays off.
Should I learn American or British English?
Either is correct and both are understood everywhere. Pick one for spelling and pronunciation so you stay consistent, and learn to recognize the other.
What should I learn first in English?
Start with the present simple, the most common 500 words, and how to ask questions. With those you can talk about yourself and your day and keep a simple conversation going.
