In the past, comparing the two types of learning formats may have been more challenging. However, nowadays, our teachers enhance in-person language lessons with videos, digital visual materials, apps, and other online resources, making the online space a more integrated part of this teaching method.

The popularity of online classes is also reflected in a recent spring survey, where over 96% of our students indicated that they would still choose online learning even if the pandemic situation allowed for safe in-person lessons.
