Best Free Apps to Learn English in Your Free Time!
Unfortunately 1 or 2 hours of classes is not enough to fully learn a language (however it does certainly help!.) To truly make the most of your English classes you need to be practicing your English every day. ‘Little and Often’ is the philosophy that we live by when it comes to practicing outside of class. This means only studying for around 5-10 minutes but every day!

Ideal for those that struggle to find the motivation to study English every day. In this blog post we thought that we would share with you some of our favourite free language learning apps!
