If you are learning the English language right now or participated in English lessons in the past, the chances are you will have spent 80% of your time on learning to read or write English. You will have spent 80% of your time learning language rules & spelling and you will know that the English language is 'annoyingly' inconsistent.

The English language is challenging to learn because it has an extensive vocabulary (200,000+ words), it has a lot of rules you must follow, and then it breaks those rules in 'special' cases.

Most English language students get frustrated with learning the English language because it takes so long to learn. Old-fashioned English lessons are spent learning the English language using books with little or no time spent learning to speak English, or listening to English conversation. We at Adept English think this type of learning is entirely the wrong way around.

The Adept English "Listen & Learn" teaching method focuses on listening to native British English conversation. We know you can learn to speak English before you can read or write English because that's how we all learned to speak our first language (not a book in sight!). Here at Adept English, we spend 80% of our time learning to speak English efficiently. We teach you the most common, everyday English used in the UK.

If you are learning the English language, so you can communicate with English speaking work colleagues. Maybe you want to go on holiday to an English speaking country. Then you will find that English conversation is by far the essential element of learning the English language. Your English reading and writing will get better over time (there are lots of tools like spell checkers, translation tools to help you as well) it is much more important to speak English first.
