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. We believe both formats have significant advantages—while in-person classes offer benefits like face-to-face interaction and more nonverbal cues, online lessons allow participants to learn from the comfort of their preferred environment. 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.
