These days, learning a language is just as crucial as, if not more so than, having a degree or work experience. Speaking multiple languages makes travelling and job searching much easier. The benefit of learning a language with a private language teacher is that you can go at your own speed and receive guidance from a native speaker.

Tips for learning a new language
These tips can assist you in achieving any objective, be it passing your GCSE in Spanish, finding an English language tutor near you to improve your conversational skills, or enrolling in Italian classes so you can travel.
- Make time for your private language teacher: If you take language classes online, this will improve your concentration, and setting out a certain time will help you create a study schedule.
- Listen to music or watch television shows in the language you want to learn: These activities are excellent for language acquisition. It helps in vocabulary expansion and pronunciation, particularly in harder-to-pronounce languages like French and German.
Read in your target language: You can begin reading books you have already read in another language if you are starting from scratch. Children's books are a fantastic place to start because they have the easiest vocabulary and may be used to supplement online language education. - Language apps: There are many apps, websites and materials on the Internet to help you reinforce when you have learnt.
- Language exchanges: Do language exchanges and get your doubts answered by private teachers. This way you can practise languages, meet people and learn about other countries. You can learn to speak languages on the Internet, without having to leave home!
What languages are the most widely spoken?
The earth is home to between 3,000 and 7,000 different languages. This is an estimate, as some languages are very similar and others have disappeared. In 2022, these languages were the most widely spoken in the globe, according to Statista:
- English: 1,500 million speakers
- Chinese Mandarin: 1,100 million speakers.
- Hindi: 602.2 million speakers
- Spanish: 548.3 million speakers
- French: 274.1 million speakers
- Arabic: 274 million speakers
Would you like to become proficient in one of the most extensively spoken languages? We provide private language tutoring in English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, French, and Arabic on FindTutors. With FindTutors, you can find a private language tutor for any language you choose to learn.
How much time does learning a new language take?
You must interact with the new language as much as possible if you want to pick it up rapidly. Watch TV shows and movies with Spanish subtitles, for instance, to get practice hearing the language you are learning with your private teacher. If you don't already have one, you can find online tutors and compare profiles on FindTutors to accelerate your language learning.
In conclusion, the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages states that learning a new language typically takes five to six months. Every level is covered by this reference, so moving from level A1 to level A2 takes five months, moving from level A2 to level B1 takes five more months, and so on.
Along with the language's closeness to your native tongue, another factor is how frequently you take language classes. Learning Italian will be quite easy for a native Spanish speaker, but learning Korean, for example, will be more difficult.
Where can I take language classes?
You have the option of finding a tutor to visit your home, attend to a language school, or select an online tutor. In any case, the different ways of learning a new language all have the same objective. Find out where to take language classes:
- Language schools: The best option for those who want to learn a new language in terms of learning levels and time. Language schools also offer classes to help prepare for official language exams.
- Private language lessons: A great alternative for people who prefer to learn a foreign language in a personalised way. Private language tuition is scheduled based on your requirements and speed.
- Language exchanges: An additional alternative for the more brave is to participate in a language exchange. It is the best way to immerse yourself in the culture and also to learn a new language with local speakers.
How to find a language tutor online
